Massachusetts → New York · Interstate 90 (Massachusetts Turnpike)
What does it actually cost to drive from Boston, Massachusetts, to Rochester, New York? The hard numbers: 639 km (397 miles) of pavement primarily along Interstate 90 (Massachusetts Turnpike), 6h 5m behind the wheel, and roughly $53.45 in fuel alone — that is 58.1 liters (15.4 gallons) of regular unleaded at a 0.92 USD/liter benchmark. Anyone leaving Boston, the New England capital and one of the oldest US cities, typically carries samples, signed proposals, or service equipment to deliver in Rochester, the Genesee Valley city and historic Eastman Kodak headquarters, and aims to be home the same evening. It is worth confirming whether the haul fits inside your daily hours-of-service window or whether an overnight at a midpoint hotel makes more sense. Applying the IRS standard mileage rate (2025) mileage rate of $0.43/km ($0.69/mile), the gross outbound reimbursement settles at $274.77.
