I have no personal reference for a speed such as that, but...

Perhaps I can be of assistance.

I recognize that road. It appears to be the same one we traveled during the California road trip. Here are a couple pics from the driver's seat.

I took this pic from the driver's seat, just marveling at the unending stretch of straight, if not perfectly flat highway. That rolls out a LOOOONG way, brother. And this little camera takes nice pics, I always have to resize them down to fit them onto the cellar.

Now, take a look at this one in my editor, I've zoomed in to the "100%" scale, that means, just straight out of the camera, no real zooming. Look at the tiny box in the middle that is represented in the main window. I've outlined the areas, you'll get it.

Look at that stretch of road, willya?
