Doofus: you and I must have been stuck in the same muck this morning. I live right off Exit 263 on I-75 and I saw the mess on 75 and took Hwy41 instead and at about 9AM it was bumper to bumper, I think I averaged about 5 mph the whole way. The good thing about 41 though is the rolling hills so on the uphills I just stayed way back from the guy in front and just kept chugging along slowly. Then the downhills were great because I could get all the way down EOCing. Instead of having my engine running for the whole hour I was sitting there on my way to the auto shop, I probably only had my engine on for about 30 minutes, I think that saved me a bunch of gas.
