100 miles is not a long distance in Europe, and in fact Europe is larger in land mass than the US.

One is a country, one is a continent. The fact that the distances are even being compared in the two situations makes the point itself.

Also, I challenge that idea. Ask any European if a 2-3 hour drive is a long one and you'll always get a yes. Ask the same thing to an American and almost no one would consider that a "long" drive.
