Pluto's orbital path is quite eccentric ... its minimum distance from the sun is only

about 61 percent of its maximum distance, and as we all know, a planet moves

fastest when it's nearest the sun, and slowest when it's farthest away from the

sun. But the online reference that I consulted lists Pluto's 'average' orbital speed

as 4.666 kilometers per second (2.9 miles per second), and I'm certainly neither

positioned nor motivated to dispute that.
