71 km/s per megaparsec is an acceleration, not a velocity. Key this into the Google task bar: convert 71 km per second to miles per hour Out pops: In each case this would be the acceleration over a megaparsec (about 3 million light years) Sounds about right for the Hubble Constant.

1 megaparsec is equal to about 3.09 million light-years or approximately 3.09 x 10^19 kilometers.
1 parsec = 3.0857x1016 metres = 3.0857x1026 Angstrom units.So, 1 megaparsec = 3.0857*1032 Angstrom units.And then, cubing them,1 cubic megaparsec = 2.938x1097 cubic Angstrom units.
Assuming a constant speed of 1.54 km/s, the separation between us and the galaxy would change by approximately 2.3 megaparsecs over 2.0 billion years. This calculation is based on the formula Distance = Speed x Time, converting the distance from kilometers to megaparsecs.
The rate at which space expands is governed by the Hubble constant, currently estimated to be around 70 km/s per megaparsec. This means that for every 3.3 million light-years of distance, space is expanding at about 70 km/s.
The current estimated value of Hubble's constant is around 70 kilometers per second per megaparsec. This means that for every additional megaparsec (about 3.26 million light-years) away a galaxy is from us, it appears to be moving 70 kilometers per second faster due to the expansion of the universe.
The farther away a galaxy, the faster it will go away from us. Check the Wikipedia article on "Hubble's Law" for more details. According to the article, the currently accepted value for the "Hubble constant" is 74.2 ± 3.6 (km/s)/Mpc. That is to say, if a galaxy is at a distance of 1 Megaparsec, on average our distance from this galaxy will increase at a rate of about 74 km/s. For a galaxy at 2 Megaparsec distance, the speed would increase at twice this value, etc.

According to Wikipedia, a parsec is 30 trillion kilometers. So, a megaparsec is 30 million trillion kilometers. And, since there are about .62 miles in a kilometer, a megaparsec is about 19 million trillion (or quintillion) miles. More precisely, 1 parsec = 3.08568025 x 10^16 meters. So, 1 megaparsec = 10^6 * 3.08568025 x 10^16 meters or 3.08568025 x 10^22 meters. Converting to kilometers, a megaparsec is 3.08568025 x 10^19 kilometers. Converting to miles, a megaparsec is .621371192 * 3.08568025 x 10^19 miles or 1.91735282 x 10^19 miles. This is equivalent to 19.1735282 x 10^18 miles. Since 10^18 is a million trillion (or quintillion), 1 megaparsec = 19.1735282 million trillion miles.
A megaparsec is a unit of length used in astronomy to measure extremely large distances. It is equal to one million parsecs, where 1 parsec is approximately 3.26 light-years. Megaparsecs are commonly used to describe distances between galaxies or clusters of galaxies.
One of the latest estimates is about 67.80Â (plus-minus) 0.77 (km/second)/Mpc. Check the Wikipedia article on "Hubble constant" for more details, and other estimates.
Probably the cubic megaparsec.
