I had  a Toyota Celica  and I thought everyone  was going faster  on the
highway than when I was driving my Chevette.  My speedometer read 70 and
I didn't think  I was going that  fast and it seemed  that everyone else
was going  70.  On the  interstates, most go  faster than 55mph  but not
that much faster.  In conclusion, I think the speedometer did overread.
