Speedos.

Right, now we're in the UK, (well most of us are :lol: ) and our speedos are in MPH, but we also have the KPH in little writing on the inside of the dial.

Now, my question, do the cars that are in KPH have MPH on the inside of their dials, and if not, why not?

Thanks,

Si.

Nope. They don't have the MPH on 'em. They wouldn't even know what a mile was.

Actually depends on the region in which your are in and the age of the car sometimes as well
Par Exemple:
Canada- Some cars like the older accords and most of the Camry's as well as Some Dodges have KPH on the outer ring with MPH on the inner ring
France- Quite a few cars have MPH on the inner ring

Places where you might not find the MPH thing is in Asian regions like China and Japan

But why? It doesn't make any sense. MPH is a much better way of stating speed.

Even though we've no longer got 0-60 speeds quoted, they're all 0-62 so it's 100kph, is the world 'MPH-ist'?
