My experience is actually exactly the opposite. My OBD reading through Torque reads consistently lower than my speedo. Today I set my cruise control to 100kph and Torque was reading 93kph which was the same exact speed indicated by GPS.
This actually makes sense since the OBD reads the value directly from the wheel speed sensor while the speed correction happens at the instrument cluster (and can be coded off by coding KOMBI).
