This' what i usually do, it may vary on person, but i usually just listen to my Engine, and then becomes a habit, but anyways....1st gear - 0-20kms, 2nd gear - 20-40kms, 3rd gear - 40-65kms, 4th gear - 65-90kms, 5th gear...Umm well 90-145kms, but i wouldnt recommend it. Lol...But like i said, it may vary, depending on the person. and Engine size....

Thats funny really it is but whats funner is that the mazda speedos have bouth mph and kph on them (the smaller numbers on the inside those are kph) so yes he is in Canda and his main numbers are kph but it will still be helpfull for him to get used to it to just look at the little numbers DOA

In Canada the kms numbers are bigger than the mph numbers, and vice-versa in the USA.

Looking at the big picture however, you have to admit that a "base 10" measuring system is FAR superior to the hodge-podge still in use in the USA and a few other anglophone countries.

For example, how many feet in a mile? Well, you have to memorize the answers... and I think it's something like 4500 or so??

However, if you ask me how many meters in a kilometre, well that's easy... one thousand.

How many ounces or pints in a gallons? Who the heck knows... but how many decilitres in a litre? Ha! That's easy, there are 10 decilitres in a litre.

I'm glad Canada, like most European and African countries, adopted the Metric system. It makes my life much easier.

What's even funnier is that the US military trains all their personnel in the Metric system so they can easily integrate and work with other armies worldwide. Heck, the M16 round is even measured in millimetres.

Cheers !!

First gear: 0-20 kmh / 0-12.5 mph
Second gear: 20-40 kmh / 12.5-25 mph
Third gear: 40-60 kmh / 25-37.5 mph
Fourth gear: 60-80 kmh / 37.5-50 mph
Fifth gear: 80 kmh / 50 mph and higher

If I know I'll be running at 60 km/h for awhile I usually shift from 3rd right into 5th and then drop back into 4th if I need to accelerate a little faster.

I trust this helps.
