What's 333kph converted to mph?

206.9

Bring a gas card.

(Pro tip: If your car is modern enough to have two scales on its speedometer, you can get a ballpark figure for the conversion in the privacy of your own driveway. Locate the mph equivalent for 111 km/h and multiply by three.)

Just go to google and type "333 kph in mph". You don't even have to hit enter.

Any self-respecting gearhead should know there are ~1.61km in a mile though

multiply everything by "point-six".

100kph * 0.6 = 60mph

It'll get ya in the ballpark enough to avoid most tickets.

(says the guy who's speedometer is only in KPH)

learned yrs ago when I was a runner … 10k = 6.2 mi (rounded off) … so whatever Kph x .62 = mph

My method is 333kph= 62+62+62+ 6.2+ 6.2+ 6.2 plus a bit equals 186 + 18.6 plus a bit equals 204.6 plus a bit...

Let me google that for you.

Multiply by 5/8.

Back from the "The US is changing to metric because it's sooo much better" days: 55mph=88kph.

Wow-I had pretty much forgotten I ever had to drive that slow on interstates.

You all know in wasn't really asking for an answer to that riiiiight?

You know there is no topic we can't take completely off topic and beat to death, right?

In reply to Streetwiseguy:

True. I momentarily forgot this was GRM!

Hush!

We've moved on and forgot about you already.

We are now on to "The US changing to the metric system", AND since we're discussing the latest feat of a German automotive manufacturer that is essentially the offspring of the "Volkswagen" I have high hopes of seeing "Goodwin's Law" played out.

Now: Discuss!

jail time.

About the same as what a Hellcat Charger will do.

The really modern ones (like, GMs made in the last 15 or so years) only have one scale, you hit the metric/standard button and the needle jumps to the appropriate number. For extra fun, this means that European speedometers that go to 300km/h are 300mph speedos.

On ths subject. What the hell is with Scion TC gauges? I mean the fuel gauge that has "R" for low and 1/1 for full like a German car. Kind of odd thing to do for a US-specific gauge cluster in a Japanese car.

On the subject of gauge clusters... what the hell is with VW?

Notice how the un-numbered tick mark represents 5mph below 80mph, then suddenly switches to 10mph above 80mph.

In reply to ProDarwin:

Yeah and why are all the pixels working!?!?

Is that real? It would seem to me that is the area of the speedo you would want to be enlarged, not smallerfied.

Thank you, I was wondering how to do that, I have a friend to prank

It is definitely real. I noticed it driving my sister's car across Texas at what I thought was a tick over 85mph. When I set the cruise and the digital readout showed speed I realized it was ~93mph.

I was at a car show and overheard a couple of young guys looking at my Lamborghini, saying 'Holy crap - look at that, it will do 300 mph!!" They didn't realize it was a European version with a metric speedo.

Today, even my wife's Mazda reads into the 260s (kph). No idea why, I'm sure it wouldn't get anywhere near that and it just compresses the range where it normally runs.

Caddys have done that for a while, too. STSs starting in '01ish is where I first saw it. The scale gets tighter the faster you go.

I approve of this. When you're going over a certain speed, the exact number is somewhat academic, but at lower speeds you want more precision.
