Why everyone that crosses the country by car does the NYC-LA route?
Try something new! Like from Northern Maine to Southern California or Northern Washington to Southern Florida.

Even worse. I'd like to hear how some of their supporters would feel if this idiot slammed into their car when they had their family aboard. I bet their tune would change then.

For even less $$$ you could buy a First Class airline ticket and do it in 6 hours.
I put this drive in MS Streets and Trips and I put the car's mpg specs in it. Probable cost of gas at $3.91 / gal premium was $578.25 The probable route they took most of the time going from NYC to Denver is I-80, and that highway is just loaded with big rigs whenever I got on it near Chicago.
See the route map they probably took, it's 2809.6 miles.
Yes, very difficult to do more than 35-45 on 80 on the south side into or out of Indiana, unless going through in the middle of the night w/no rush hour involved.
