CA, basically everything above is true. But first, find a stretch of road that is exactly a measured mile. The speed you travel is unimportant at this time. Look at the odometer in your speedometer when you start. Whatever the tenths is, it should be exactly that when you arive at the end of one mile or 2 miles or 10 miles. If at the end of the measured mile, for example, your tenths is .9 or 1.1 miles then change the speedo gear at the tranny until your odometer shows one mile exactly in a measured mile of road. once your odometer is correctly measuring mileage, then and only then do you want to check the speedometer for speed. If it is not correctly measuring speed over a distance of a mile then it can only be correctly calibrated by a speedometer technician. You want your odometer to read mileage acurately before you calibrate for speed because otherwise if you change speedo gears at the tranny to correctly indicate your speed you will never know exact distance traveled or never be able to acurately check gas mileage. I know this at first seems backwards, but think about it (very probably, after you get your odometer recording correctly, the speedo will be right on the money).
