Is there a simple formula for doing this?

I either missed it, or have not yet come across it. Anyone know this?

I can get the calculation from Miles Per Hour (MPH) into Kilometer Per Hour (KPH) easily enough

I looked int he rules and there doesn't seem to be a math formula that applies to the way speed is assigned a MPH rating.

Spd = 1' per second
1 mile = 5280'
1 hr = 60*60 sec = 3600 sec

Now matching 1 spd to a MPH is of course gonna be messy.
1 spd = 0.6818 MPH (with that 18 repeating infinitely). The problem is, 5280 is divisible by 11, which does not divide cleanly.
However, 22 spd = 15 MPH (btw, this is also in the HU/Ninjas & Superspies super vehicle section in the speed charts)
11 spd = 7.5 MPH

Any Spd not divisible by 11, you'll need to either estimate, have a remainder, or a repeating decimal

I have something written up at home for this, let me dig it up up and I'll post it here.

If a Speed of 5=3.5 MPH then a single speed point=0.7 MPH. Approximately. OR...What Rikonius said.
