    What would be the best and cheapest toll wise way to get from CT to FL.

    How much is to cross the Gorge Washington Bridge on an 18 wheeler?

    How to minimize the cost damage ?

    What is the better route ?

    I think the GW is $120.00
    84 is the best way out of CT

    Right now am in Enfield CT from the prior replies, the consensus is to avoid NYC and that segment of i95?

    I was thinking i95 to 287 and back to i95 but 287 can be a nightmare and still I would have to pay the NJ turnpike.

    From what I can see the 84 - 81 basically takes you to 40 and eventually through Atlanta GA ? Not sure that whole loop is any savings in terms of time and fuel ?

    You only pay the gw going north,

    84-684-287-17south to 80 east back to 95 would probably be your best bet, the amount of miles and hills to go around on 81 will probably cost you more in fuel then the tolls, but I haven’t checked because it’s just so many more miles then 78 from York area, and I’d rather pay extra to run Albany and take a right to avoid ct then avoid that little strip of jersey

    $24 per axle iirc, and they don’t care if it’s lifted or not, you pay for all of them
