I would have to say this (these) are probably the most major factors. I wasn't even on the same roads as I was trying some different roads to try and avoid traffic.

It was a fun exercise, until I got the part of the results where my 4th gear pull was slower, then I was really bummed with visions of potential engine failures robbing me of my horsepower....
