[99metro]

If you had a CB radio tuned to Channel 19, you could ask how traffic is BEFORE getting on the interstate, then bail off a couple exits before the traffic gets bad. They make hand-held CBs that plug into the cig lighter if you are worried about an antenna messing with the aerodynamics.

I have had a CB for almost 30 years and it has saved me a bunch from having to sit in traffic. Although, my little Metro is overdue for a CB, my 55 mile one-way commute seldom has traffic jams. My F250 sits in the driveway with a CB, but it isn't easy to swap between vehicles due to the dual antennas and near-permanent wiring. Both my Full Size Broncos will be getting one each in the next couple of weeks.
