    To be fair, this Finnish trip is a solid 70 km shorter than the Texas trip, Google is just predicting it will take you longer.

    The east-west trip in Texas from Orange to El Paso is 1380 km, but only takes about 12.5 hours because a big chunk of the highway has an 80 mph (130 kph) speed limit

        Sure, but really from the Louisiana border to the New Mexico border along that route is 1419 km. This morning it says that’ll take just over 13 hours because you’d hit rush hour traffic in Houston
