I think it must be close to 70 because 100kph is like 62mph.  To the OP, what gear are you in, 5th I'm assuming?  It seems a little bit high maybe, but what's your redline?

1. Why do you have nice "rimzz" on a 2001 Kia Sentra?

2. Depending on your engine size, 3500 isn't too high for 75 mph.

1. Its a nissan sentra.

2. I think they make the car look better, not chrome and ricey

3. Its a 1.8l with around 120whp

4. I love my car like a first born son and she needs to be pampered sometimes

Okay good, because if  you were a telemarketer I was going to ask you to stop calling my house early in the fucking morning. At least have the decency to wait for me to sit down to dinner with my family to call and interrupt my life.

That's probably right for that sized motor saying that the road you are driving on is level.

did you upgrade your rims yourself?

If your new rims are larger than oem wouldn't your spedo would read out slower than actual, thus your tack would be higher than expected?
