This is the common assumption. However, you cannot average MPH over two different time periods. For example, in your answer, Warrt would drive for 1 hour @ 40mph then for 20 minutes @ 120mph. You cannot average these two numbers for average total speed, because you'd have to keep driving @ 120mph for a full hour (to match the full hour @ 40mph).
Thats how he drives so fast in the 1/4 mile! He spills his hot coffee on his crinkle-bag when the light goes green.
Maybe we should move away from talking about Warrtalon driving "Comando", it is getting close to dinner time.
