There's no way you're getting anywhere near 20% faster journey times by driving faster, unless you are seriously speeding and only travelling on motorways/highways.

I used to ride a motorcycle in the Bay Area and could get to work in less then 20 minutes, where a car would usually take me 60.

Lane splitting, driving 100mph when there’s enough space to do so, and generally being a maniac can get you places pretty quick. It can also pretty quickly make you dead. I survived 8 years of this commuting but I’d never do it again.
