In the not-too-distant past, it used to cost me $55 round trip when I towed my dual-axle enclosed race car hauler down to Lawn Guyland for events. Many drivers from up here wouldn't even attend events down there because of the crazy tolls for a $2.00 plastic trophy...even those without trailers.
I crossed the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel last year, and remember that the $14 toll for 23 miles of bridge/tunnel seemed like the travel bargain of the century! For being on secondary roads through the DelMarVA, that whole detour was a pleasant drive that I definitely would do again.....
