How long would it take to travel 55 miles in a car?

Question

I need to get from Temecula, California to Huntington Beach, California.

Answer 1

Ramzan says you can do it in 30 minutes!  If it is 77 miles, you would need to average 154 miles an hour to do it 30 minutes!

Answer 2

It almost take you 1 hr if you take the normal Rd. if you can take the highway/freeway then it could be in 30 minutes.

the easiest way to check it ,go to www.google.com-->Maps and enter the origin and destination and it calculates the best destination. :)

Answer 3

Depends on how fast you want to drive.  

Normally,  figure 45 miles per hour in town or congested areas.   Then,  add some extra time.

Answer 4

Considering the traffic is usually bad, give yourself anywhere from 1 hour to 2.5 hours.

Answer 5

depends on the speed limit. at 55mph it would take you 1 hr.

google tells me otherwise. it says 77 miles and it would take 1hr 22min

Answer 6

Depends, are you taking the Ortega highway or taking the freeway thorugh Corona?

The Ortega is a nice drive but it'll take 30-45 minutes.  Once you hit Capastrano you have another 30-45 minutes to Huntington Beach, not taking into account street traffic after you get off the 405.  I would plan for 1½-2 hours.

Taking the 15 to the 91 to the 55 to the 405 would most likely take you the same amount of time but most of it would be on cruise control.

Answer 7

Depends on your speed. At 55mph, it would take you one hour.

Answer 8

assuming that your car can do 0-55 MPH in 6.2 seconds, and you have a clear road with no-one on it to obstruct your speed, you can make it there in 59 min and 3.8 seconds.

Another method of calculation is use a web map system such as Yahoo maps. Then take the estimated time and add 25% to that for the occasional idiot that drives, well..... like an idiot.
