Driving in this morning (playing with this thing in the rain at 70 MPH), I tried 1, 2, and 3% comparing it to my hand-held Garmin GPS that I deem very reliable. At 70 MPH it seemed to match pretty good at 3%. The GPS shows in tenths and rounding the number was matching pretty good.

At 40 - 60 MPH, I found that it was a little high and that 2% was a better choice. At 20 - 40 MPH the 2% seemed ideal as well.

It may be the air in my tires or other factors, but 2% seems to be my choice.
