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
But the finnish trip is 1387 km, from orange to el paso trough san antonio 1373 km. So the finnish fastest route is longer in length too. But yeah we don’t have as fast highways whicg makes the trip way longer in time
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
Yup. And Norway is even longer if for some reason that’s not enough. In the UK you can also make a 1000+ km trip from north to south, same in France, Italy, Germany or Ukraine. In Turkey you can even leave Europe, drive 12 more hours and still be in Turkey.
Yeah wait hold up I’m in the US where we CALL IT THAT and mine says fuel
Even though it knows I have an EV, which makes it double funny
Edit: funnier - it shows as “gas” in Android Auto but “fuel” on maps when not in AA. Both know I’m an EV and show “charging stations” and not “gas stations”
americans love to completely fucking forget the nordics exist, as if we’re not more rural than large parts of the US lmao, and yet we’re able to have trains and other good things.
I think american conservatives just hate our existence for proving their shitty opinions wrong
My european mind can very well comprehend this. And a few hours more

Why is fuel called gas

It’s an abbreviation for “gasoline”
