    Exactly this, by driving 20% faster you’re cutting off 20% of the total trip time, which can be massive on long drives.

          No, you should actually follow through with the math. I used a simple example in hopes it would be obvious.

          At a distance of 100km it take 60 minutes at 100kph. Change that to 120kph and it takes 50 minutes. 20% quicker would be 48 minutes. 20% faster gets you there 16.666% quicker.
