If you have a choice in designing the speedo, wouldn't you (or your lawyers) push the bias toward reading high? Given all the variables in speed measurement, I'd expect some bias and build that in so that the speedo rarely (if ever) reads too low. As a result, it'll almost always read too high.
Neither gauge is accurate as they both receive the same corrected sgnal from the DME..

Sorry - was referring to the analog one - the tach. Speedo is for reference - tach has more valuable purpose, IMO.
