minus-squareLeviathan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·edit-21 year agoI always convert using 100km/h. So a 13 hour drive is probably North of 1250km. That being said I only measure distance in time as well.
minus-squareRentlar@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up8·edit-21 year ago100km/h is a good estimator, because you’re probably going 120km/h most of the way but you need to account for toilet breaks and lunch.

minus-squareSomeone@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year agoMy car tracks my average speed for some reason, and I believe it’s based on engine hours vs. distance. After 2½ years and ~70,000km it’s stayed pretty consistent at about 60km/h. My driving is probably 90% highway by distance, or 60% by time.
