Back in the Yahoo! days a few different people were working on OOB, so its quite possible some had a different philosophy in assigning speed.
But the game confirms the hex speed as one third of Kmh.
If you move a vehicle across the map and then hover the cursor over the vehicle, it tells you how fast it’s going:
1 hex: 2 Mph
10: 19 Mph
20: 37 Mph
27: 50 Mph (80 Kmh)
So if you move a vehicle along a flat road to it’s maximum distance, the cursor will tell you the top speed for that vehicle in Mph.
