DIC always higher. Radar boxes I pass by agree with the speedo.

Speedo, DIC read different MPH?
The needle on my speedo reads 1 to 3 mph higher than the DIC says when I use the cruise control. Are all 'vettes like this? Some? Just mine? It's kind of annoying to me.

I have done an overall test to see if my mileage was accurate. I used a navigation system and mile markers to check for accurate mileage. My mileage was off by 5%. I discovered this when I was trying to get an accurate fuel mileage. But found out my speedo didnt match up over a couple long trips to the mile markers and state posted toll mileage. It may say I am doing 60 MPH, but my mileage reads 63 Miles. I have called a few places to check on this. Anyone else discover this? Unless you look for it, you may never know....Something is awry. Either the speedo or the mileage.
