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

yep, driving somewhere is almost always expressed as a unit of time. Only time I check distances is planning a trip with the trailer to get an idea of when to stop for gas, especially going up north.

Not to mention if we say miles, we almost always mean kilometres.
