Also remember we’re talking Autobahn here! Gmaps assumes upto 130kp/h… depending on your car and driving style you could drive 200kp/h++ (at least partially whe

  I’ve driven this route many times, and it’s quite unrealistic to expect you would ever get much higher than 140km/h on average, except during the night from 00:00 to 06:00 or so. Since it’s mostly 2 lanes, you’ll almost always have people slowing you down to about 120-130.

  The ability to do that will be highly traffic dependent. In practice, driving that fast when possible doesn't shave more than a few minutes time off the overall travel duration from my own experience.

    Jep, one minor traffic jam and all the cars you passed at 200 kmh catch up to you. As you do with all those that passed you at 250 kmh. I have that experience multiple times a week. Generally driving at around 130 kmh seems to be a sweet spot, and is by the way the recommended speed on the German Autobahn. It is also much more relaxed. Not that driving fast isn't fun, it is, but going fast in straight lane is among the easiest things to do.

  Having travelled Hamburg-Berlin for more than two years: A 130 km/h average is very optimistic on that route unless you travel in the middle of the night. Large distances are speed limited to less and large chunks are 2 lanes with lots of traffic. Not to speak of construction sites and traffic jams. I usually took the train and would constantly beat my colleagues taking the car significantly (1-2 hours)
