I've seen it bad enough here that it took people 14 hours to move 14 miles. That was when a water pipe burst and flooded the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel for the first time since it was built in 1957.
If you are not moving at all like once I moved a mile in one hour, you are just screwed.
If the traffic is moving at 10 mph average or more then I actually get better mileage than I would at 65 mph.
We have traffic reports and living on a peninsula it pays to have my 50 years local knowledge of alternate routes especially when the I64 gridlock moves to the alternate routes. On a motorcycle (air cooled) in 98 degree temps, 8 traffic light cycles to more through a single intersection, you can roast an engine.
