Google - time/ distances

How accurate are the Google reported driving times and distances between locations?
Are they the old 'central post office to central post office' as the location distances are measured?
e.g Hamilton to Tauranga 105 kms, 1 hour 23 minutes.

The route/s distances i've calculated using google have been reasonable accurate, i ignore google's travel times.

Pretty good, but driving times are always pie in sky stuff. I found AA times better for estimating real travel times as they account for roads wel.
