Any current GPS will have a steady state speedometer accuracy of .1mph.

Are the tires currently on the vehicle the same size as those specified by
Honda?
I did a calculation on my (off-size) tires. Honda specified 195/60 but I'm
running 195/65. The calculation involves the static loaded radius and the
rolling circumference. For my configuration the error is 7 percent at 70
miles per hour. I just add 5 mph to the dashboard reading.
My old Prelude had a recall on my speedometer that I never took advantage
of. That would have corrected some of the error but I just do a mental
adjustment and live with it.
