Is yours a European car and his a Japanese or American car?
I had a BMW that consistently showed the speed about 8% above the actual vehicle speed. BMW refused to fix it, saying that was within their tolerance. Many people complained about it, but BMW would only fix speedos that were reading low, not high. Something to do with legal liability.

If the tires that are on the car now are larger or smaller than the ones that came on the car new, that would change the speedometer reading. Either that or your husband is messing with you! ;)

It can be a tire size that is different from the original size in height (Aspect) or an odometer drive gear that is worn and slipping.

Tires. Smaller turn faster so speed seems up, bigger is slower.
