When you say it's out by how much, alot or just a bit?
Could be your speed sensor or loom playing up.
Any other problems with gear changes etc

... or it could be that it shows the average mph since starting up. I'll do 75 miles, 50 at 70mph but the average shows 30mph (I'm assuming your referring to your mode switch). Also, your mpg shows current and average - the average returns the result since you last hit the reset (R) button. This also applies to the average mph.

I still think it's your VSS playing up.
