    depending on your tires, that's perfectly normal...
    Oh, ok. I thought it would be faster judging by the way you guys were talking.
    you have a 94 3100, meaning 3.33 gears, just like me. so depending on exact tire size, that will determine how close yours would calc out to compared to mine... that and the speedo may not be 100% accurate in that range.
