To do the conversion from Miles to Kilometers, convert to base Fibonacci, add a 0 (thus "multiplying by phi"), and convert back. km to miles is just the reverse. 100km = 89km+8km+3km = 55mi+5mi+2mi = 62mi. 100mi = 89mi+8mi+3mi = 144km+13km+5km = 162km.

I apo … apolo … I can't do it! Even that car chase seemed tacked-on! Fixed. Bleh. I apo … apolo … I can’t do it! Even that car chase seemed tacked-on!

Fixed.
