Hawaii has its "H" Interstates, and there's 3 of them, so I don't think Hawaii counts.

Alaska also has Interstate A1, a freeway that goes from Anchorage norheast to just outside of Wasilla, and Interstate A4 that goes from the end of A1 closer into Wasilla.
Rhode Island has 3 : I-95, I-195, I-295, plus 4 U.S. highways

The Upper Peninsula has only one Interstate -- in fact, unless I missed one, only one limited access highway. And I-75 covers a pretty small subregion of the peninsula.

Of course, if it were a state, it would be the least populous.

For such a short distance of 23.4 miles, Delaware collects an inordinate amount of turnpike toll revenue from the millions of mostly out-of-state drivers that pass through. I suppose that massive toll revenue, along with slot machine revenue (also mostly paid by out-of-staters), and its famously lax incorporation laws, enable the state to survive without any sales tax.

Where, exactly, in Michigan is this? I often drive I-94 between Ann Arbor and Kalamazoo and have to dodge slow pokes asleep in the left lane.

The state with the most miles of interstate highways is Texas, with 3,232 miles over 17 routes — nearly 7% of the total mileage nationwide. That shouldn’t come as much surprise, considering the Lone Star State is the largest state by land area in the continental U.S.

Unless they're in the left lane in a neighboring state. I swear to god that driving 65 MPH in the left lane on I-35 in Iowa is the official hobby of Minnesotans.

There are only two kinds of Minnesota drivers: people going 30 MPH over the speed limit, or people choking the left lane at or below the speed limit.

The more time I spend driving outside of Michigan, the more I appreciate Michigan drivers. They seem to have a very good balance of speed and etiquette. Especially compared to surrounding states which drive slower and appear oblivious to the laws that make the left lane for "passing". Most Michigan drivers go 10-15 over the speed limit(which is more of a suggestion than enforced law in Michigan) and the drivers who want to go slower are quicker to get over to let faster drivers get by them.

That describes Illinois drivers in Michigan.

I-76 doesn't count. It's in Nebraska for less than a mile. *lol*
Nebraska also has I-180, I-480 and I-680
