I'd prefer to see 90km/56 miles or maybe 40 miles/64km. It's all to do with sig. figs! It only comes with use. I get to learn km on the Continent, so keep doing the maths (plural of math!) :- kph x 5/8 = mph. Not too hard on the newer ones as they have dual-marked speedos, but not on Type 3s. Dave.
