Is my speedo off?

I've only had my Max since October, and it always feels like it's going slower than the speedo says it is.
The tachometer seems to be accurate though, based on mile marker comparisons on the freeway.
I have 15" rims with 215/60/15 tires.
Does anyone else feel this? Maybe it's in my head, and the Max is so smooth that it feels slower...

i am pretty sure that the max's speedo is 2mph off. it says you are going 2mph faster than you actually are, i seem to remember a motor trend review of the max confirming this. also, there is a neighborhood speed sign that always tells me 2mph slower than my speedo tells me.
