Also, have a look at this....  |
It looks like up to 4% over optimistic speedos:
- Make us drive up to 4% Slower, (and therefore less likely to lead to warranty claims as less load on the car)
- Reduce the actual mileage our warrantys last for by up to 4%
Car Manufacturers would therefore appear to be clocking our cars in their favour !! I am sure they never realised this and were only doing it to help make people stick to speed limits !?*
