Ditto on the speedo and odo being off by different amounts.

My speedo reads about 5% HIGH (GPS says I'm going 60 - speedo says 63)
My odo reads about 4% low (GPS says I drove 81 miles - odo says 77.7)

How do you compensate for that? If I were to change tire diameter OR rear gearing to make one of them more accurate, the other one would then be even farther "off"...
