I-95 = Traffic, construction, stop and go, not very scenic ...
I-81 = Much less traffic, scenic - no construction
We did this route from MA to FL for years and years - the first few, I-95, but then I-81, and after a few times "testing each", made the I-81 route the forever choice ...
For us, even if the savings are true, and personally, I doubt it but never actually cost-tested it, the drive up I-95 became something to dread ... and tolls eat some of the savings as well.
