I'd rather take the state routes ... they may take a bit longer but a much more relaxing drive, easier access to food, etc and much better gas mileage.

I put about 3000 miles on the car one weekend going on a road trip - 99% of it was interstate. Not fun at all. Way too stressful, averaged getting caught up in at least one traffic jam a day (killing fuel economy for that tank). Granted, we ended up getting to where we wer e going a day early by going fast.
