Yeah, 145km/h might be a liiitle under powered. I drive between 120km/h to 130km/h on the US interstates.
How are you doing kph in the US?
Every car I've owned has had a way to change the speedometer from freedom units to ✨ metric ✨ .
For knowing what speed I should be going, I roughly follow these numbers. (Note, these are not equivalent.)
Also, very roughly 10km ≈ 5mi.
However, most of the time I just follow the flow of traffic.
I voluntarily switched to metric like 10 years ago, so meters, celsius, grams, etc make more sense to me now.
You missed the joke.
I was making a joke as if kph and mph were physically distinct things and only one of them worked in each country.
Squinting your eyes on the smaller numbers on the speedometer. I do it all the time!
Be careful, you might get pulled over for doing kph instead of mph in the US.
No imperialist (system) is going to stop me!
So you're saying your car is able to use mph when in the US? Fancy car!
Btw, I was trying to make a joke about mph being some different kind of "fuel" that's not compatible with kph, in case that wasn't clear.
