My question is how much of that is highway travel and/or straight? In the Texas map most of that travel will be highways at 80mph. I know Germany has the autobahn but living in Colombia has made me suspicious of long travel times which actually have short distances traveled since this country is very mountainous and I don't think a straight road exists here.

1/3 to 1/2 of the Texas trip will be interstate highways. The rest is mixed bag of divided highways with at grade crossings and two lane highways.

Texas will still make their back roads 80mph lmao, even with grade crossings

Nearly all of it is Autobahn. It is basically just road work slowing you down and even that is not too bad.
