Yeah, but the middle of a range test without mentioning it in the article is a bit suspicious. Also, thanks for implicitly revealing your standards for an acceptable white lie and acceptable journalism. ;) (Okay, devil's advocate, so it only reveals about your devil's advocate persona.)
to a reporter given the chance, donuts might be considered "normal use patterns" :-)

I wonder what car insurance actuaries would make of this?
I would expect the car to show a higher speed to the driver (by 5%) not lower
Agreed if things are going right - but again, for the sake of discussion, one could fathom there being some sort of bug. I don't believe that this could realistically be the case, but I'm just trying to mention all possibilities...

Obviously it's far fetched to think that display inaccuracies were really the case, but food for thought.
