This ties into what I've been saying all along. If the odo is off by ~8% for me, it would be reasonable that the speedo is of too. I have done a few calculations, and based just on the circumference difference between the XE and a truck with OR there is something like a 6.7%error/mile if the truck hasn't been calibrated for the difference.

Now, if you translate the 6.7% error into the 55mph reading...58.685mph is what you get. If it seems to be more, like it is with mine, then it would be even higher.
