OK. I finally took a deep breath and did the conversion.

55 miles = 88.5km!

What is the speed limit in Tolo Harbour? My goodness. I was going that fast... Am I still alive? And in those busy main roads I was going 35 miles = 56km.

I must be crazy. Now I have found out why I have been having dreams about driving.

BTW, I still cannot figure out what it means by a gallon, an ounce, a quart, a yard, a cup, F, mile/hr... Why is it so confusing?

It was all those standard SI units when I was studying physics and chemistry in high school. m, dm, kg, K, m/s... All these units make more sense to me but they don't exist in real life!

This is a crazy world. I could do all those experiments to push the little cars to test Newton's Laws. Yet, I have little idea how fast I'm driving!
