Nope not for me! I figure 200 miles for 4 hours!

If I am estimating the drive time for a 500 mile trip, figuring 50 miles per hour has proven time after time to be a very close estimate. Seems like the majority here use a similar number.

If I am telling my wife how long to the next bathroom break, 15 miles is 15 minutes. And we will be there quicker, and I will be a hero.

Figure 50mph average.

I figure 97 minutes.

Same for us.

I travel at 60 in 55-60 mph States and figure averaging 50 miles in one hour. It's very accurate.

I figure 50 mph average in the east. On highways in the midwest and west, more like 60+. So 100 miles would be 2 hrs or 1:40ish, depending on where, and how far.

50mph is a pretty good planning number for freeways and even 2lane/2way rural roads.

If you get into city driving (off freeway) or back county roads, that's a different ballgame. Likewise major construction can throw things out of wack.

Since we travel in furlongs per fortnight, 100 miles takes us at least three and usually four hours.
