Per is correct on this.
There was extensive discussion about this a year or so ago.  At that time I
reproduced a page from Bentley explaining that they were acting in compliance
with US DOT regulations. Add to that allowable error, and your speedo isn't
too accurate.
Bottom line is that for 80's (and others?) Vanagons, the speedos register as
much as 10 -12% higher than actual speed. Should be in the archives.
