    I'll be going down 75 and cutting across to Orlando. Really if the toll isn't more than $50 it would be quicker and easier for me to run it but I was wondering if anyone knows a good way over there avoiding the tolls? Looks like it might be a lot of red lights and not worth the headache. My GPS (for a car and not so trustworthy) says it adds an hour to the trip.

    I'm coming from TN. I-75 south to I-4 east? That's an awful long way out of route.

    How about 75S, US98E, to FL50E?

    That looks like the way. Have you ever run it?

    No, but it doesn't look bad on my satellite map.

    I think that's what he's trying to avoid.

    Yeah that's what I'm looking to avoid is the Florida Turnpike. If I take it I'll be getting off exit 255. If it's under $50 really that's not too bad I would pay that much.

    Exit 255 is Sunpass only, no cash accepted
