New York → Virginia · Interstate 90 (New York State Thruway)
Outside sales reps regularly slot the Buffalo, New York, → Richmond, Virginia, leg into the weekly visit calendar precisely because the 716 km (445 miles) along Interstate 90 (New York State Thruway) fit inside 6h 49m of continuous driving and still leave room for a full client meeting before the homeward trip. Pulling out of Buffalo — the western New York gateway to the Niagara Frontier and Lake Erie — the route crosses light industrial zones, then farmland, before opening into Richmond, the capital of Virginia and historic gateway to the American South. The budget line item calls for 65.1 liters (17.2 gallons) of regular unleaded (about $59.89 at the national average benchmark of 0.92 USD/liter), plus discretionary tolls billed per axle. Reimbursement math, against the IRS standard mileage rate (2025) schedule of $0.43/km, returns $307.88 to the contributor at week-end.
