This is still in the idea stage.
The variable will remain constant until the next change whether plus or minus.
I'm sure I'll have something to work on to keep the value from getting out of control.
Perhaps a GPS would be better, but I'm afraid it would get too complicated in the hardware.

One of these would be much easier to use and implement what your trying to do:

A simple serial link is all that is required, just 3-wires Vcc, Gnd and data

You can't use an accelerometer to measure speed.
If the change from 10mph to 60 mph takes 5 minutes, an accelerometer won;t reliably tell you how much change in speed has occurred.
