How many minutes is 1 km driving?
I have a friend who lives in Canada, and he was complaining about his 20 km commute taking him almost an hour, even though he averages about 65 km/h the whole way. I have a 20 mile commute here in the states, and I average 65 mph, but it only takes me about 20 minutes. Is there really that big of a difference between 1 mile and 1 kilometer an hour?
