Time per miles

[Wilson123]

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

[WTP-GC]

Based on the RVers that passed me today on the interstate, I'd say 75-80 mph is safe. But then factor in some time for blowout repair, etc.

Depending on the highway 50-55 mph average factoring in stops. Even traveling at 70 mph where speed limits allow.

On the interstate, 100 miles is right around 90 minutes. On surface roads. 100 miles takes about 2 1/2 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.

Straight line interstate with no road construction, or back country roads though the mountains of West Virginia? Interstate will equal 1 hour 40 minutes at 60 mph. Mountaisn of West Virginia will take you 4 or 5 hours to navigate all the hair pin turns.

That is fine except when traveling secondary highways. My transition drive from Buxton Trail head to Beachside SP is only 136 miles, but takes at least three hours. NEVER plan on making good time of Oregon 101, especially in the summer.

50 miles per hour is my guesstimate when panning a trip. We stop whenever we see something that strikes our fancy and don't worry about the length of our stops. We do frequently eat lunch while driving to make up for our stops but that changes daily also.

Just took me 1-1/2 hours to do 51 miles....LOL. Not interstate driving. With all my stops, I figure 33 mph... that is OK... in 6 hours I do 198 miles and I am ready to hang it up for the day.

Same here, 2 hours.

100 miles.......2 hours 'drive' time
Actual 'travel' time......2 1/2 hours (potty break)


We travel 250 miles max per day......4 1/2 hrs 'drive' time which takes us 6 hours total 'travel' time
(depart 10AM....arrive 3PM)

As a Rule Of Thumb that is what I use.
