It's tapered as well. so even zero dihedral on top would still give
some below!

He's right, Bertie. Zero. Here's a copy of an old Cessna brochure
which states so explicitly:

Yeah, zero in the top, but since it's tapered, there can't be zero on the
bottom...

I was looking at a 195 just Wednesday - which was having a heater
installed - as I was having service on my heater at the factory... The
centerline of the wing/spar has zero dihedral... And the top surface
is tapered down to the tip as much as the bottom surface is tapered
up...
