    Ok I will make it easy for you.

    Not all MPH speedo's have KMH on them ASWELL.

    My last two cars that have KMH(post change over) on them do not ALSO have MPH.

    hah, confusing yourself! MPH clocks come with KMH but KMH clocks dont come with miles is the answer!

    I actually got stopped in Enniskillen about 2 years ago being economic with the speed limit, cop asked me why I was doing x amount of mph over the limit and I said I only had KMH on the car clocks and wasn't sure of the ratio?!? He laughed and sent me on my way!!!
