Narrative:
After coming off north atlantic track climbed to FL370. I set economy cruise speed in FMC and failed to advise gander center of speed change. The track crossing speed was filed at .800 mach. The new economy speed was .805 mach. Gander center asked me my speed and I looked down and it was indicating .815 mach at the time gander center advised me to go back to flight plan speed of .800 mach and I complied. The outside air temperature was isa +10 degrees and we were on radar contact.
