#6 is very true. The only thing lacking is the time one gets rolling on the freeway. Between 11 am and 1 pm not too bad. After that until about 9 pm the time increases to travel to a given location.
Stop and go traffic stay in 3rd gear. WIll save gas consumption.

Not to quibble, but I do not know very many people in California that eat artichokes. I think we eat more avacadoes. They are both nasty buggers anyway :)

Good point. When I lived in California many, many years ago as a kid, the neighbors used to give us the avocados that grew on the tree in their yard because they didn't like them. Never ate a single artichoke when I lived there. Maybe the neighbors ate them all.

In Nebraska at least we give drive time rather than distance as well, but not for the same reason I don't imagine.
Also, in the midwest, or at least for Ne. and the Dakotas, limited access, four lane divided roads are not generally refered to by route number; rather they are simply called "the interstate".

I bet you have the same traffic issue we do.
At the end of the workday, it's best to wait a few minutes and miss all the traffic. And I do mean 'a few minutes'. Here in Topeka, we have 'rush minutes' instead of 'rush hour'
so if you wait till 5:10pm, it's about be over.
One of my goals in life is to never live in a town with divided highways with more than two lanes.

Problem in California one town merges with the next town. Sometimes there are five lanes going in one direction for a short time till the road splits a bit.
After each cold winter many people get fed up with that temperature and head for the warmer winter climate like Floria (rains) California (earth quakes at times) No real safe place. Politicians everywhere.

Yeah, in Lincoln it's kinda the same, but it's really about 30 minutes in the downtown area. My wife and I visited Topeka when the "Treasures of the Czars" was there. It seemed pretty easy to get around as long as you knew where you were headed.
Speaking of divided highways, our own I-80 is being expanded from 2 to 3 lanes each way over the next 5-10 years all the way from Omaha to Grand Island. What's really scary is that it's really necessary. It can be a nightmare some days driving into Lincon from here or Lincoln to Omaha via the interstate. We get semis nearly bumper to bumper and they start jockying for position with slow rigs trying to pass slightly slower rigs going uphill and traffic trying to enter; all in a range of speeds from 60 mph to about 80. It's all because I-80 is the road between N.Y. and S.F. and a good number of routes funnel together at Omaha to head west or Denver to head east. We'll be so relieved once our kids aren't making that drive every day, and not just because of the gas prices!
