FWIW - just estimates. I had a 30 mile commute. If I drove 65-75 I could make in about 25 minutes.

One night I was on-call and drove really fast in the middle of the night and it took about 18-20 minutes.

I realized it was never worth it to shave off a handful minutes and drive way too fast to any destination.

Basic math. When you get to a certain speed, you’re shaving off seconds/minutes. 65mph is certainly better than 35mph. 90mph isn’t really better than 65-75.
