New York State Thruway I90

Just got off the subject matter and hope to never ever be on this rough back country road again, but that's not the reason for my rant. Nor is the fact that instead of a nice welcome center when entering the state, we were welcomed with a toll ticket instead. We were on said annoyance for most of the way heading east from the PA line and except for using RT 5 along Lake Erie and into Buffalo. We paid like < $4 once, <$9 and then the mind blower, when we got off around Albany for $42.85. Yep, you heard right, as ridiculous that it might sound. I said it couldn't be right, but this kid insisted that it was cuz I was towing a car and high in the air, as he put it and it's kind of hard to argue while at the toll booth unless there was a place to pull over and go for a manager of sorts. I will send a copy of my receipt to the proper authorities, once I find them and not that I expect anyone to really care about what they might be doing to their tourist industry.
Has anyone else encountered this example of gross injustice and what might have became of it, other than for never setting foot on NY soil again.

Your proposal is accepted. Bye Bye
EDIT
BTW You could have taken free interstates to Albany from the PENN line more or less without any tolls. You should take responsibility for your decisions. You decided to travel the Thruway without an ezpass and without finding out how to travel for the same rate as a automobile. YOU DID NOT do your due diligence. so quit complaining. I hate to sound harsh but you are traveling without planning. Didn't you get a toll card when you got on the road at exit 50 in Buffalo? It had the rates you pay on it. You did not look? You did not ask? Then pay the charge and suck it up and learn from YOUR MISTAKE.
For others it is I86 to Binghamton and the I88 to Albany NO TOLLS. Ten miles longer and maybe 20 minutes more but totally free
