Fairly typical. Also, tires deflect at high speed which may have an effect on your speedometer readout. Better to read high than low, save you from getting some tickets, keep the mileage down.

With a higher reading speedometer, your car is actually showing that it has more miles than you've actually traveled. I thought there was a lawsuit with a manufacturer about this at some point (I want to say Kia but can't remember).
Good point... if my speedo is reading 5% high I guess my warranty ends 5% sooner.... boooooo
