    If your company let's you run the turnpike, run it... 80 has way more hills than the pike.

    As a Crete driver they use to threaten to take any non-authorized toll-road use out of the drivers pay. I never had it happen the whole time I was there, but with tolls going up like they have, I would say it's a roll of the dice before they start. 76 isn't a bad road, but 80 is free until it criss- crosses with 76 in Ohio.
