2. Divide that value by 2. Easy to do. 4 -> 2.
So at 40mph, it will read 42.
At 75: 75 -> 7.5 -> about 3.5 So it will read 78-79mph at 75 mph.
I did very well on a Time-Speed-Distance rally using a late-model BMW with a HUD and mentally performing the math on my speed using the 5% value.

Although I love doing the mental math, the built in speedo error is total BS.
