The Mapping Sites don't openly suggest or show "suggested speeds" -
those averages are from me dividing the total miles by their estimated times -
gives overall average miles per hour.

The Mappers DO try to calculate the time based upon their understanding of the
allowed speed limit on each small section of the route - dunno how they factor in
things like traffic lights or Stop signs.

For sure MapQuest does NOT figure in any gas or potty stops!
