'11 SE Speedo reading high

My '11 SE speedometer seems to be reading about 3 MPH fast. Has anyone else noticed anything similar? Any idea if this is something that can be correctly via dealer software settings?

Normal for it to read high. Toyota's specs are that it can read as much as 4 mph fast at 60 mph. Our '10 reads 4 mph fast at 65 mph (as does my '05 Tacoma).

+1 Mine reads 3 MPH too fast, and it's common among Highlander owners. When I bump up to 255 size tires from 245 I calculate it should bring the speedo error down to 1 MPH too fast.

How do you know its faster? Mine reads faster according to what my gps says, but how do I know the gps is accurate? A gps is only accurate in location to some number of feet I think...

I tested my 2010 Highlander SE using two different Garmin GPS's and a Magellan. All 3 show that my SE reads 2-3 mph high at 65 mph.
