Wheel speeds scaling factor was originally estimated by Bugsy seem to have a 3% error across multiple users. Other platforms DBC file use the 0.057 scaling factor. Changing the Outback scaling factor to 0.057 provides a speed match between comma and vehicle speedometer on @wcleveland7 's 2016 Outback.

Car speedometer is usually off by a few kph/mph because of regulatory requirements, so openpilot is using average of wheel speeds to calculate actual speed. You could use high precision GPS to compare openpilot speed reading given the GPS reception is good. Please let me know if you get more precise speed reading by using current 0.0592 or global platform 0.057 scaling factor vs GPS reported speed.
