Do you say minutes or miles?

How far is it to Lewistown?  110 miles or 2 hours (if you stop in Harlowtown at the burger joint).

I'm doing a little experiment to find out if the distance to a destination is explained in minutes (hours) or miles.  Why?  Sometimes I wonder if this measurement is gender determined, country lingo or what?  Do people who live in big cities measure miles or time?  I'm just curious.

minutes to goWhen I "go to town" it only takes me 20 minutes to get downtown and about 30 minutes to get to the west-end, I have no idea how many miles it is???

I'm not sure how many miles it is to see my Daughter in Bozeman, but I know it's about a 2 hours drive, to my Mom and Sister in Kalispell takes a good 8 hours, including lunch, (on a good summer day less, pending road construction).

A couple of months ago I had this "discussion" with my Husband, he says Montana people say miles (of course this is a guy speaking). 

I quietly let it go and today, at our coffee date I asked him how far it was to Lewistown, his answer?  about 110 miles.  I then asked him how far it was from Great Falls to Lewistown and he said "oh about 2 hours"  LOL, Gotcha!

So I wonder what other people say?  Or maybe it would just be fun to find out.
