Just completed a trip from Tampa Fl to Maine. 1650 miles dooe to door. Paid very little in tolls. 95/81/78/209/84/ toll free. Newburg NY to Troy on thruway, a few bucks. 7/9 Bennington/Keene/Concord/Manchester almost nothing. Portsmouth to Portland on I95 about $10. Portland to Boothbay nothing. Slow and hilly between Bennington and Concord, but always a slow traffic lane up the steep hills. Avoided the Boston/NY/NJ/Baltimore/Phillly/DC traffic completely. No dead stop or heavy traffic anywhere. Minor slow down on I78 due to construction was not bad on a Sat. Might be very bad on a weekday. I was pushing hard and drove it in three days. I normally take four unless I do some sight seeing or visiting along the way. Had work to do before flying back to Tampa so I averaging a little over 500 miles per day, but never more than the posted speed limits. With rest stops and fuel I usually average about 50mph.
