That all depends on your definition of surface roads. For the last Sprite
Spree I drove from Chicago's northwest suburbs to PA via US30. Did not pay a
single toll and the trip that Google optimistically puts at 12 hours and 48
minutes to drive 689 miles took me about 14 and a half hours to drive 750
miles. Not a big difference and a lot more interesting drive, especially
through the Alleghanies. Did it again this last July with my daughter to go
to Kevin's PA LBC Rallye. A bit more fun with the 5-speed ad the RG engine.
