(Liberal strongholds like CHI and NYC with tolls everywhere excepted)
Interesting observation, never thought of that, but now that you mention, it makes sense.
When you drive NYC to Miami, all the tolls are only from NYC to Baltimore/DC, after that for the remainder of the drive, there's not a single toll. Mind you that NYC to DC is less than 20% of the way!!
Having driven the NYC-Baltimore/DC route many times, the tolls are out of control, you pay a total of at least $50 each RT just on tolls!! Never mind that gas costs a minimum of $50+ these days RT...
