AVG, are you saying that all the ships in campaign are set to even speeds? I asked this question in a long ago thread and I could be mistaken, but I think it was lurker or possibly Ducimus, (whomever it was I trusted) answered that some ships do indeed have speeds set ingame other than whole numbers. I would say if you calculate speed at 7.5 knots, that is what you should enter. It DOES make a difference. I edited my post a bit, so look above and try this experiment for yourself, it's easy to confirm. I'll try to find the thread I'm speaking of.
