The trip by the numbers (GPS).
Moving Avg: 46.3 mph
Max Speed: 58.9 mph
(I can’t imagine I ever went that fast. But there were parts of I-90 in Chicago where I wasn’t
paying attention to speed and just focusing on the road to keep from getting killed. So . . .
I guess it’s is possible I hit 58 mph at some point.)
Moving Time: 18:05 [hh:mm]
Stopped Time: 10:24 [hh:mm]
Total Time: 28: 29 [hh:mm]
(See the note above that explains where I lost some time at the start of the trip in Syracuse,
thus accounting for the discrepancy in total time traveled.)
