    multiple mph * 6 = kph PS: if your car is not pre-1914, it should have both kph/mph on the speedo

      isn't it 8/5? i.e. multiply KPH by 8 then divide by 5 to get MPH...otherwise, 60mph would be 360kph (it's atually about 100)

          That would be 1.6.

          It does, but the mph accuracy is 10 mph - whereas a regular mph speedometer would have had 5 mph markings.

            you are correct, thats to go from kph -> mph 100kmp = 6x100 = 60mph 60 Kpm = 6x60 = ~35 mph

                    How did you manage that?? :confused: I get: 6x100 = 600, and 6x60 = 360 In any case, even multiplying by 0.6, you would only get an approximate value.
