The American way of expressing distances by drive time - what does that include?

    The time is usually an estimate, or the best case scenario in my head. If I have to stop and add more time, I do. But 10 hours is probably what google maps told me it is. I drove straight 9 hours or so once, I think I stopped twice to use the bathroom/get a snack. Got there at 2am. It was rough, wouldn’t do it again.

      I drove from Albuquerque NM to Tacoma WA in two days by myself. That one was pretty rough.

      I generally go off of what the GPS says because time is a blur for me unless I take specific note.
