Speedometer vs. Avg. speed, fuel level accuracy
I understand this is picky, but the car has all of this information available so I started comparing things:
Anyone notice a discrepancy between the speedometer and the system average speed? I reset the readout and held a steady 70 mph according to the speedometer, the system showed a steady 65, dropped to 65, the system showed 60... anyone notice this, and which it my actual speed?
And my fuel tanks readout is off by an 1/8th tank. At 1/4 full I should be able to put in just over 12 gallons (3/4 of 16.6 is 12.4), I can usually get 10.5 or so - anyone else? I'm off by 2 gallons once 1/4 to 1/3 is used from a complete fill up.
Thoughts?
Thanks.

honestly, who cares?
the speedo is designed to indicate a higher speed. German law does not allow speedos to read to slow of a speed, but allows a slight upward deviation. All german car manufactures therefore set their speedos a little fast to be on the safe side.
