I'm driving around on spacious highways up here, so yes, driving 90km/hr max, maybe P&Ging the whole way, is definitely going to get me there slower than driving 110km/hr max (speed limit) or 120-130km/hr (when no cops around). In city driving it's not so much of an advantage to drive fast, but the fast driver/accelerator will eventually get some lead on you by making it through a series of lights that you get stopped at.
