Time per miles
Hello. What do most people figure per 100 miles? I usually figure 2 hours.

for a full days driving towing I figure about 2 1/2 hours on average. That takes into account gas stops, rest stops traffic etc. For short trips on open interstate 2 hours, secondary roads 2 1/2 hours.
When towing For trip planning I use streets and trips with a 15 minute stop every 2 hours, fuel every 250 miles and highway speeds one notch slower than average, in town average. And we usually shoot for 300-350 miles/day, 400 max. Don't stretch beyond that unless we are planning to stay longer than overnight.
Unless there is a big snafu from construction, accidents, etc. this usually gives us a very good time estimate.
non towing on long trips we can usually average 50+ish mph on a 700-800 mile day including quick lunch and dinner stops. But then I'm traveling on the interstate with speed limits anywhere from 65 to 80 mph.
