Overhead console owners

Has anyone ever checked the mileage difference between what the overhead console says and what the actual mph is. I know the OHC reads higher than what it's actually getting. Mine seems to be about 4-5mph off. What is yall's difference.

Mine has been about 1 mpg higher than when I hand check it.

My F250 diesel has been thru 2 tire size changes from stock, stock to 315's to 295's and the computer hasn't been right since the first change. It says now that I'm getting 21.5...but that ain't hapnen! Running around town I'm getting about 15. Funny thing is, when I pull my 5th wheel long distances, it gets more accurate???
