[QUOTE="garyahouse, post: 943314, member: 20946"] Driving west: You gain approx. 1 hour of daylight for every 1040 miles. That's 25,000 miles (circumference of the earth) divided by 24 hours (one day). Therefore if you average 60 mph including your stops, that's 17.33 hours to go 1000 miles. At that rate, you'll save 3.46 minutes (of daylight) per hour as you travel west. Unless of course you travel at night. Ya can't save what you don't have. Or unless you travel east, then you reverse everything and lose daylight. Or unless you change time zones... is any of this making sense? Dude it's Monday. Why not just take a plane? At 1040 mph, the sun will never set. Gary darksider #44 [/QUOTE]
