Jarrett,
When traveling around the US on my = 'Aussie speedo=20 metered' (metric) Harley, I had to mentally calculated all speeds = on the=20 go.
I found the easiest system was = using  was=20 using the 5/8 fraction i.e.  100 k's and hour are approximately = 60 miles=20 an hour ( 100 k's/8=3D 12 approx x 5 =3D 60mph) I don't try to go into = decimal=20 points when doing it in my head, as all I want is the approximate = whole=20 number.
I learned how to do this as I have an = old 73=20 Landcruiser, with miles an hour Speedo - the system is the same but = inverted=20 i.e. 8/5 this.e. ( 60mph/5=3D12x 8 =3D 96 K's)
