Google Earth vs. Odometer

I plotted a round trip path to Savannah and back (my usual route 2 or 3 times a week) so that I could compare my odometer to it. The trip using Google Earth's ruler was approximately 91.4 miles. My odo read 94 miles after the trip. Is that close enough considering GE can't compensate the distance for hills? According to those numbers, my odo reads a little under 3% high. What does everyone think? Thanks ahead of time.
