    Well, figure out the difference in mileage involved.

    Then figure the avg mile per gallon and the gallons used.

    Then go to the penn turnpike site and figure the tolls.

    Subtract the difference.

    Toll roads charge by the axle, not weight. Would average about $100 round trip last year running across 76 in PA, around in Jersey & back to central IL based on 5 axles.
    Haven't been out there since last December, but heading out in the morning for Toms River, NJ.

    according to there website, you put in the enter and exit point, which class of vehicle and then the total axles. To me thats sounds like a flat fee.
