Gravity can also cause time dilation like in the movie interstellar. If you are near a very massive object like a black hole your time progresses slower.
I believe they have actually done this experiment and put an atomic clock on a satellite or what not orbiting the earth at thousands of mph and put another on earth. After x amount of time the two clocks would be off by a tiny amount.
The thing is you really have to get up there in speed before you start seeing any serious time dilation.

And it's not just speed that affects time, but gravity does as well. They are all connected E=MC^2.
