Ditto. I just drive in fifth gear around 3k rpm on the fwy, goes about ~70mph.
as far as streets go, go along the other cars.

I also hooked up a bluetooth gps adapter to my pda to tell me how fast im going, but its too much work setting that thing up. Its called GPS Speed sentry, also has an odometer that reads the miles.
That can be another solution for you to hook up a gps unit with big numbers to tell you how fast you go. I dont think the engine needs to know the speed to calculate anything, correct me if im wrong.
