That's good stuff to know. I have traveled through NY quite a few times, but it was always Mass Pike up to Syracuse, I dont remember there being that many tolls.
I'm also traveling with a gas-guzzler at the worst possible time, with gas prices most likely in the $3.00 range and a truck that gets 8 miles to the gallon... -----Original Message----- From: C.

I don't know if you've driven on our lovely throughway but it's 90% toll... there is a toll from the time you pick it up until you reach Buffalo (I don't think there are any other non-toll portions) and then on the other side there are tolls from Hamburg (southern suburb) to the PA state line. I guessed your vehicle size and route (Mass Turnpike to PA Line) and the tolls came out to be $30 for a two axle vehicle (total, they include towed vehicles) over 7' 6". You can do your own calculation at http://www.nysthruway.gov/tolls/calc/index.html The nice thing is that you don't have to get off the throughway for anything, they have convenience areas every 30 miles or so that have food, pet poop areas, bathrooms, gas, phones and info spots. I think I saw that some or all of them were being fitted with WiFi access as well. If you already knew all this, great... I was clueless about the fact that the first sign you see when you cross the NY border reads, "Welcome to New York. Toll Booth Ahead."
