    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
