The idea is that it's kind of unrealistic that the speed table given in the book is exponential. The rules as presented also only realistically change when you're trying to chase down different speed things (like running versus driving a slow vehicle); in two cars the adjustment is the same so they work like the rules written.

Also, a rating 4 speed car in the book only goes 80 m/CT, which is like 96 km/h. The adjusted speed of a rating 4 speed car to my scheme is 134 km/h, so for cars, you'd actually go faster than printed. — [[User:Revàn|Revàn]]<sup>[[User_talk:Revàn|(Talk)]]</sup> 14:42, 26 May 2017 (EST)

The idea is that it's kind of unrealistic that the speed table given in the book is exponential.
