I don't drive a car (unless I make arrangements with my wife, since
it's her car...), so this may not apply, but it is illegal in CA to
sell a motorcycle whose speedometer reads less than the actual speed
being ridden.  Manufacturers therefore set the meters to read up to
10% high, just to be safe.  (What you do in the way of adjusting them
after sale is not their concern.)  I assume that this is also the case
with cars.
