My wife and I just returned from a trip to California and back from Texas. We were able to cruise at 75 MPH in West Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona (legally). I had along my Garmin GPS48 and had it operating sitting in the cup holder on the instrument panel. When the GPS registered 75 MPH, the Aero's speedo indicated 81 MPH. I noticed smaller differences at slower speeds. Passed several highway patrol cars running radar sitting in the median and they didn't seem interested. Of couse I am assuming the GPS to be accurate.
Anyone else noticed a similar experience? BTW the Aero drove like a dream. The most comfortable car we've ever driven on a long trip. Averaged 30 MPG on the trip. Plenty of room in the trunk to haul back 3 cases of wine and all our baggage without having to put down the rear seats.
