I-80 tolls

My last several trips to Pa. I TRIED to AVOID the tolls.
My question is concerning the highway robbery of the toll roads on I-80. On some roads with my 5th wheel I was charged for 5(FIVE )axles when I only have a total of four.
Any idea of the total amount (approx) in $ if I-80 is used from Chicago to the Pa. turnpike.

Am I wasting time and money avoiding the interstate 80 toll roads?

    As far as I know, in Illinois I-80 has only one toll. The cost is dependent on the time of day, but I believe it’s less than $3.00. You might have to search for toll calculators state by state.

    I rarely travel via Interstates.......much prefer secondary/back roads cause I enjoy the scenery and relaxed drive EVEN if it causes a bit more distance/time.

    I'm retired and have NO time constraints so I would rather enjoy the trip vs dealing with traffic, tool booths, idiots exiting/merging etc on Interstates

    Probably. I'm sure willing to pay up for almost no traffic.
