Well, the Google says 18 minutes and 9.9 miles, but it's more like 40 minutes. I can't even make it to Mopac in 18 minutes.

Google maps says 11 miles and 22 minutes right now, but no idea on how accurate that is.

From Kyle:

21 miles, 20-25 minutes without traffic. Maybe an hour or so with, according to Google. I am not sure because I work nights.

Several times out of how many? Did you dive Cesar Chavez or Enfield? Was school in session?

Again, rule of thumb not Newton's fifth law.

I'm about a mile from the capitol building, so it's 5 mins by car or 15 mins by foot... I can literally see the capitol building from my front lawn.

Same here. But if I did drive downtown, it's about 9 miles and 30 minutes.
