A related effect I've noticed (perhaps a kind of "expectation" effect) is that it seems to take much longer when travelling over uninteresting terrain. I've recently moved from Toronto to a smaller city that seems to be one large suburb and even though Google tells me the distances I now travel are less, they feel so much longer. I'm convinced this effect is due to visual stimulation, a kind of time compression through distraction. This is why I prefer travelling through a city, even if I'm not always travelling quickly.
