long story short. your speedo will read a little bit faster than you are actually going....which can only be a good thing with regards to the police.
The faster you travel, the bigger the gap between your indicated speed and the actual speed....so around town it will be fairly accurate, on the highways-not so much.

Get on the freeway, and watch for a mile marker. As you pass the mile marker, set the trip odometer to zero. Go at least 10 miles (the farther you go, the more accurate this will be) while watching the markers, and when you hit the ten mile marker then check your odometer. Compare your miles (on the odo) to the actual ten miles you traveled, and you'll have your actual speedo inaccuracy.
Math is great when you have all of the data you need to figure it out, and all that data is accurate. But sometimes seeing the actual real world results is best and/or easiest.
