I find my Prius (and most cars) over-report speed by about 3%. Still, the fine for doing 105 MPH in a construction zone wouldn't be pretty.

The Prius is an excellent choice given the great aero, and variable gear ratio which will keep the car in the most efficient RPM and load range for the given power demand.
