just go with the manufacturer speed limiter, and when your reach fuel cutoffs, that's exactly the speed you were going

+1, the faster you go the more off it is (they generally are off by a number of percentage points, and the norm is for the spedometer to be conservative). You can calculate your true speed by using a portable GPS. I know on my motorcycle they purposefully advance the spedometer by quite a bit.

The GPS doesn't lie though and is generally very accurate at determining your true speed.
