Since I wasn't sure how the game handled fractions either, I decided to find out when the game moved each speed. In a simultaneous game, I took Propulsion Expert, then created a ship of each speed from 2 to 13, lined them up, moved them as far as each could go in one month, and then watched the movement log. Here are my results. (The 'movement day' is the day that the ship ends up in a new sector.)

code:
Spd Movement Days
02: 15, 30
03: 10, 20, 30
04: 7, 15, 22, 30
05: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30
06: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30
07: 4, 8, 12, 17, 21, 25, 30
08: 3, 7, 11, 14, 18, 22, 26, 29,
09: 3, 6, 10, 13, 16, 20, 23, 26, 30
10: 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, 29,
11: 2, 5, 8, 10, 13, 16, 19, 21, 24, 27, 30
12: 2, 4, 7, 9, 12, 14, 17, 19, 22, 24, 27, 29
13: 2, 4, 6, 9, 11, 13, 16, 18, 20, 23, 25, 27, 29
Or, for the visually-inclined amongst us:

code:
Mvmt --Speed--1111
Day 1234567890123
01 .............
02 .........XXXX
03 .......XX....
04 ......X....XX
05 .....X...XX..
06 ....X...X...X
07 ...X...X...X.
08 ......X..XX..
09 ...........XX
10 ..X..X..X.X..
11 .......X.X..X
12 ....X.X....X.
13 ........X.X.X
14 .......X.X.X.
15 .X.X.X.......
16 ........X.X.X
17 ......X..X.X.
18 ....X..X....X
19 ..........XX.
20 ..X..X..XX..X
21 ......X...X..
22 ...X...X...X.
23 ........XX..X
24 ....X.....XX.
25 .....XX.....X
26 .......XXX...
27 ..........XXX
28 .............
29 .......X.X.XX
30 XXXXXXX.X.X..
Realize that I whipped this up from just one test on Gold, so your results may vary.

From another thread. Needs to be formatted for the FAQ and added as paragraph 6.8.3
