The thing is for Canadians memorizing a speed conversion table is easy as every car since the 80's has a speedo that's marked in both km/h (large font) and mph (small font).
Anything out of the normal car speed range and I'd likely have to do the math.

I no longer convert most measurements, it's the same as learning a 2nd language, if you use it every day you will be fluent, if you stop using one you will forget quickly.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
