    It seems about right, I’ve done the trip from Barcelona to Madrid, it took six hours.

    Istanbul is not a capital city. Capital of Turkey is Ankara. Obligatory: Erdogan is a fucking twat

    Do a lot of Europeans stay 10% under the speed limit? Because that sure as hell ain’t the case in America.

      I think its to calculate with the likely stops you are going to take during the journey

        In my experience, travelling ~90km/h most of the time but adhering to local limits, stop signs, etc. drags you down to the average ~60km/h speed all throughout the route.

        As for going 120km/h on the highway, you still effectively get around 80-100km/h average speed.

        10% down is extremely optimistic

    By the way: This “how far can I get from a specific point within time xy?” is called isochrones.

    Very interesting when you move somewhere and want to know what’s in range.

    Isn’t it nice that you can drive 8 hours and still not be in France?

      I didn’t catch that. Spain is twice as big as the UK, for example, and about 30% larger than Germany or 40% larger than Poland, or 12.5 times larger than Denmark, which looks like a 1/4 or 1/5 the size.
