10% is more than i've usually heard, but i think it's almost universal
that vehicle speedos read high -- the makers would rather that than the
reverse, where you'd be actually driving faster than you thought you were.

most people find the difference to be about 5%.  i haven't checked the
RS against my gps yet.
