Didn't know what tires you were running. That is why I said "If". Even a
1.9L running right will easily do 85 on the level. That size tire
probably puts the speedo where it belongs or only off by 1 or 2%. See my
earlier post.

If you are running stock size tires, after you take out the speedo
error, you were only dong about 85. The rated max/cruising speed.

ok, math time here :<) my tires are 215/75/15's.  wouldnt that mean id
actually be going faster than what my speedo says? and if you factor in
the error, then it evens out to about what the speedo says..right?  i
flunked algebra, dont ask me.. :<)   all i know is that i was passing
just about everyone. .. and on I-78 people fly..
