That 200 miles is round trip. From Strasbourg, France to Basel, 
Switzerland via Germany. I usually need between 70 and 80 minutes one 
way but have been able to get it over with in little over an hour when 
there's no traffic (remember, no speedlimit on the Autobahn and a 159 
mph top speed :)).
And that's a temporary thing - I'll only be doing this for a few weeks 
until moving permanently. As noted, the cost is just insane.
