5. The turnpike is what $6-7 for the WHOLE length???
NJ is way bigger than DE and there's plenty of other toll-free highways to take, especially in North Jersey.

6. $16 for the whole length in NJ.
I've done it enough going from MD to CT that I am familiar with the routes.

Price/per mile:

NJ = $0.08/mile
DE = $0.95/mile

:wow: No wonder Joe Biden is always smiling. :hide:

BTW, How's Haruka?

7. Ha! You've got to show those rates to Lynne
Haruka's good, but she's slightly annoyed right now that she has orientation for her new job at 8am tomorrow. Her original plan was to be fishing for stripers in CT at 8am tomorrow.

8. Lynne is part of the toll-brigade!
Fishing in CT? I lived for 20 years in CT (yes I did vote for Lieberman ONCE ONLY). Great fishing though.

Which part of the sound is she going out on?
