Factor this:

Average car @23mpg = 2.18 gallons of fuel for the trip @ 2.59g (today's price by me) = $5.68 in gas.
QMT toll is $6.50

Toll + Gas = $6.50 + $5.68 = $12.18

43 cents cheaper, and in less time, no LIE aggrivation

well when you consider bringing in a family of 4 in a car vs. 4 tickets...

not everyday, but still...

Agreed totally, I think the majority of the rr passengers are commuters though. Some, buy not many families.
