Lose you 20 minutes
How would you say this? “Lose you” sounds incorrect?
Driving at 40kmph on a road where the limit is 50kmph will lose you 20 minutes.
Thank you

No, that's not right. I can't think of a short way to say that correctly. If you drive at 40kmph on a road where the limit is 50kmph, it will take you 20 minutes longer to reach my house than if you drove at the speed limit.
