You're talking about 40 minutes, maybe, if the stars align perfectly.

I'm talking about average speed and an average speed difference of 10 km / h, which seems like a reasonable stand in for the difference in speed between someone who's driving casually vs. "trying to get there as fast as possible guy". It's not relevant if it's 100 vs 90 or 90 vs 80 - and actually, if you assume the average speed for that distance is lower, then the 10 km / h difference actually saves you more time, not less, because it represents a larger proportion of your total speed.
Let's say you're right, and the best you can reasonably do between Calgary and Kelowna is 80 kph if you're doing everything possible to get there quickly. That's 15 hours. If you're doing the more casual 10 km / h slower, so your average speed is 70 km / h, that's a difference of 130 minutes.
