Well you probably should not be relying on the stock speedo in that case. For
the two speedo gears you quoted with their corresponding axle ratios, if one is
exactly correct the other must be almost 3% out. Or maybe Ford split the
difference and made them both 1.5% wrong, and are you running the original size
tyres anyway??
OTOH you should be able to set a bicycle speedo/odo to read within 0.5%, which
is a lot better than you'll get from the normal car speedo. If the regulations
allow it of course (if not then hide it somewhere ;-)
