Saw this recently on a WAN Show (19:12). How true is this? It sounds wild.

I always convert using 100km/h. So a 13 hour drive is probably North of 1250km.
That being said I only measure distance in time as well.
100km/h is a good estimator, because you're probably going 120km/h most of the way but you need to account for toilet breaks and lunch.
And city driving where you might spend 20 or thirty minutes getting to our from the actual highway.
My car tracks my average speed for some reason, and I believe it's based on engine hours vs. distance. After 2½ years and ~70,000km it's stayed pretty consistent at about 60km/h.
My driving is probably 90% highway by distance, or 60% by time.
