This is not an estimate Sir, I have myself done it. I dont remember the distance exactly. But yes, I did average more than 90km in an hour. Speed was consistently hovering between 110-120kmph with occassionaly 130s on downslopes. I could have been even faster had the Srikakulam - Champawati stretch was 4 laned (only 2 lanes were operational then)
To be precise Reliance Petrol pump at Berhampur to A1 Plaza before Vizag took me around 3 hours nonstop. As I told you earlier I did Bhubaneshwar BP(NH5) to A1 Plaza Vizag in 6 hours. It took me another 25-30km from A1 plaza to reach my hotel in beach road.
May be I was lucky to have got empty stretches that particular day otherwise probably 4 hours is a nice estimate.
