I Was Told There Would Be No Math

John walked along Kingston Pike, I-40 and Pellissippi Parkway from from his home to the office. The distance was 5 miles and he walked at a steady two miles per hour wearing his Holston High School letterman's sweater. During his walk, 40 cars passed him from behind and fifty cars passed him coming from the office.

What was the average speed of the cars (excluding Jill Green and Greg Gilbert who were traveling at a speed in excess of Mach 1 and were excluded from this question since they were outliers)?
