Smallville showed him capable of that. When he saved Chloe during the football game.

Also Clark hadn't pushed the limits of his powers yet when Jonathon died. JK didn't want Clark to help because there were too many people around who would witness him using his powers.
He could have ran to the car at a normal person pace, grabbed the dog (tore the door open at this point as nobody would be able to tell from that distance), and run back to the under pass. It was silly the way it happened.

That's because Smallville Clark >>>>>> MOS Clark.
Smallville Clark had true superspeed, as in, he doesn't seem himself as moving fast, but everything else is so slow as to seem frozen in place. He was lightspeed + by feats.
MOS Clark did not display a level of speed like that, he was simply faster than the eye can see in short bursts. It doesn't take all that great a speed to be invisible to the human eye.

The entire scene was shit.
That scene and the tentacle rape are what keeps me from giving the movie a 10/10.

from the article where singer states the actual cost:
My production budget on "Superman Returns" was $204 million. The approved budget was $184.5 million. We had projected overages for visual effects, and there was a sequence that I wanted that was going to cost an extra $2.3 million. So the hard, honest number is $204 million.

so yeah, they were close in budget and gross. coming in last minute, you are confused on the argument made by darth power that money determines sequels. which is not always the case. superman returns was actually well received by critics and non comic fans.
They're...really not close at all in gross...MOS is making a crapload more worldwide than returns. It will also end up being making a substantial amount more domesticly. Honestly, what is the need with some people to try and paint the movie as a failure and nitpick every little thing they possibly can? I don't remember this kind of constant bitching and whining about things in any marvel movie or the dark knight movies, even though there are plenty of things to nitpick if you try as hard as some people are with this movie. Did MOS go around pushing people down and stealing their lunch money or something?
Well MOS has already beaten Captain America, Thor, Hulk, and Incredible Hulk. It's on it's way to beating Iron Man, it is 60 MIL away.
Has it been successful? Yes, and as many people who predict the box office called 550-600. I honestly was expecting 650, but it has been hit by strong competition. Pacific Rim, Monster University, and World War Z all chipped away at its profits.
Though, I'd say that whether it made a profit or not, another reboot would be a kick in the $#@ that is not required. They have to go on and make a sequel despite the set backs from critics. Superman returns did not leave any room for a potential shared universe or a future.

Even if I was to believe a word Singer said when he was trying to save his reputation, it still didn't even double it's production cost. And that's without taking into account marketing costs.
MOS on the other hand is on it's way to tripling it's budget cost, and made up marketing costs through sponsors.
So you have a very strange definiton of "being close in budget and gross."
Also your claiming that the general audience liked Superman Returns is frankly laughable. If they enjoyed it they would have watched it more and recommended everyone else to go watch it. It's not like Superman is some unknown name.
And of course Profit dictates sequel potential. Trying to argue otherwise is just trolling.
