Someone going the speed of light would travel the Earth 23 times in 23 seconds.
Gotenks said he travelled "a couple dozen times" and we see the paths he makes all around the Earth in one panel.
One panel. To travel around the Earth "a couple dozen times" would mean at least 24x. Assuming he made one revolution per second, that would mean he travelled 192,000 miles per second. He even told Piccolo that he was so bored waiting for him that he "took a nap". We know it doesn't exactly take Piccolo several minutes to fly down from Dende's look-out. Boo climbed it rather swiftly (although he obviously wasn't using his full-speed)
Toriyama said they were even faster than the speed of light towards the end of the series. Whether or not that interview is authentic doesn't really matter: The math speaks for itself. You can check Volume 24, because those are exact quotes of Gotenks.
Thank you for your time.

This might be because I'm very tired, but doesn't that mean that Gotenks can only travel at 8,000 miles per second?
I'm not disagreeing that the Z Warriors can travel the speed of light, I'm just saying.
