This is just BS, born of complete ignorance and likely more than a
little bit of water cooled chauvanism. I have done many 8-10 hour
drives, but I drove from the west side of the badlands to Chicago in
the summer of '68. That took 12-13 hours and covered 1150 miles
stopping only for gas and toilets. I ate while driving.
