I've done plenty of tests in town with friends, anywhere from 10 miles to a mile. Out of the dozens of tests we did, there was only one time when the speeding car got away and that was when they were lucky and caught all the lights. It's all about luck...not speed.
I've found the same. Getting over 20mph average is near impossible on surface streets in any city in the US. And even when a trip involves a lot of arterials with high speed limits, little traffic, and occasional lights, it was still hard to get above that much.
