Yes, they have interstates in the Big Sky Country, but I believe they're
still marked in furlongs rather than miles.  Vehicles destined for
Montana have speedos calibrated in furlongs per fortnight!   :-}

And Tom, for the 4 Cyl, you might need to calibrate it at a slower speed.
 6 min. per mile=10 mph!
