Black holes warp space right? If so then the closer you get to a black hole the "shorter" the distance travelled would be (more conical) however the more power you would need to escape from its effects...
If this is so then you could say that using a distance is feasible as the falcon does the run in under 12 parsecs (travels closer to the black holes => more power) than other vehicles... similarly saying that a microlite does route 66 in 12 miles (as the crow flies) while a car does it in 15 (as it has to follow the bends!), not a lot of sense but some.
