I know that most car speedometers show miles per hour a couple miles below actual, but 4-5 miles per hour seems too much.

Is anyone else's TCH speedometer this far off?

The inaccuracy of the TCH speedometer has been the subject of significant discussion since June when I first pointed this out. A number of forum members have tested their speedos with handheld GPS devices and have verified this. You can search these various threads for more on this topic.
