West to East coast car travel time?
Kelly wrote in :
How long does it take to travel from San Francisco to Boston, Mass by car? Can I do it in 5 days? I have found that my average driving time over long distances always comes out to 50 mph. That accounts for gas and rest stops and going over the speed limit when you can get away with it. I actually drove from Cleveland Oh to Los Angeles in three days, but that last day I drove 1100 miles in 22 hours. Don't try it! Last week I drove from Cincinnati to Toronto to Poughkeepsi NY, to Lancaster Pa and back to Cincy. Yep, 50 mph average. I was able to guess my arrival time home within five minutes when I was over 400 miles away. Be sure to where your seat belt and check your car over before you leave. Have a good trip. ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

The program suggests that you could do it in 53 hrs or 10.6 hrs. each day. Using another poster's 50/mph suggestion, it'd take 62 hrs or 12.4 hrs each day. Personally, I've driven from Florida to Denver in 3 days, and figured that it was another 2 to L.A. So, I think that, while it won't be fun, it can be done. [Rog'] |
