Pennsylvania Highways:* Interstate Highways

Theoretically, any two Interstates that are one digit apart could intersect. Many of them do.

2 is the greatest difference between two Mainline interstates in Vermont going the same direction by default its the least possible because odd go N/S evens go E/W.

And Alaska is the farthest East (technically not, but it crosses the International dateline, but they put a jog in it to keep it in the Western Hemisphere), West and North of all 50 states. HI is the farthest South.
Hey!!!!! Anchorage is not due north of me!!

Well, if that is the parameters and they must be going in the same direction, there are dozens of states besides Vermont with a difference of two besides my example in Texas. CA and AZ both have I-10 and I-8, LA has I-10 and I-12, MS and AL have I-20 and I-22, IL has two examples, I-55 and I-57 as well as I-70 and I-72 while Pennsylvania has I-76, I-78 and I-80 to go along with I- 81 and I-83 and I-84 and I-86, all even E/W mainline interstates. I don't think I exhausted the list.

There are no east-west interstates with numbers between 44 and 64, which meet in St. Louis. Numbers 50 and 60 were skipped. All numbers, odd and even, from 68 to 91 have been used. The longest unused gap is from 50 to 54.

but California also has I-80 and I-8 meaning the greatest difference is 72, Vermont's greatest difference between interstates is 93 and 91 which is 2.
MS and AL have I10 and I22 which is a difference of 12 etc. etc.

Also I believe around Boston is the only place a lower numbered N/S interstate runs east of a Higher Numbered one (I-95 and I-93)

The Woodrow Wilson Bridge passes through Virginia, DC and Maryland all within 300 feet.

Oh, I understand now, you are speaking of total interstates in the state. How about Delaware? Has I-95 and... well, I-95, a difference of 0. Okay, stretching that one a bit...
