Fun fact: If you have a scientific calculator (literal or app) but no other conversion tool available, the conversion factor between miles and kilometres is almost exactly ln 5. Disturbingly close in fact.

That's fewer keypresses than generating the Golden ratio or working out Fibonacci numbers. But if all you have is your head then, yeah, the Fibonacci trick is good enough in a pinch.
