I can tell you for 100% positive it didn't come from GM like that.

Yeah...I have one in my car--it's in KM--try to remember there is a country N.of you that is called Canada and trades 340 billion with you every year.
And the US is one of the last places on earth to use that silly imperial system

I often thought about taking my 240 KM/h and hooking up a 62% adapter, or changing the speedo gears, or making a "box" to change the pulses per mile accordingly. The you could take the KM/H and use it as MPH ...
