Default Speedometer off, or am I nuts?

Today, returning from Currys DE inspection I was tooling along at 80mph down 66 when a great-grandmother type passed in the right lane driving a 90's Buick Roadmaster. Is my speedometer optimistic or is travel on the interstate always 75-85 mph now. My tach shows @3000 70mph, 3100 75mph, 3200 80mph. 5th gear in a portly 79SC. Is this about right?
