Hey, I live near Dayton too. If you want I can meet up with you and I could your check your actual speed with my GPS. If your car reads a constant 5 mph off then there is a simple fix we could try.
When I had my Formula my speedometer was off by 3mph, so I reset it using my gps and made it accurate to about a 1/2 mph. Now I have a TA w/ a digital dash. It reads .5 faster than what I am actually going,....but I'm not too worried about messing around w/ it for that small of a difference.
Email or IM me.

Don't go by those radar readings they are always off. I have a new car and I drive by a couple of those things a day and none have the right speed reading. Pace your car with someone elses car to see if it is right.
