How accurate is your speedometer

I went to visit my sister this weekend and I was curious about how off my speedometer was. Those 'what's your speed' signs on the side of the road had been showing that my car was right on the money and so I counted how far off the speedometer was by watching the mile markers for 100 miles.

Over 100 miles of road the car got ahead by 2 tenths of a mile. So it is only .2% fast which I didn't really think any cars did except police speedos. My old car was 10% slow so when I was doing 77 it was reading 70.
