Tennessee → Indiana · Interstate 40 / Interstate 55
Before turning the key for Indianapolis, Indiana, on the homeward run from Memphis, Tennessee, do a quick inventory sweep of onboard equipment: proposal binder, undelivered promotional items, and visitor badge should each go into a separate compartment so nothing slides into the footwell during a sharp brake. Interstate 40 / Interstate 55 accepts the 729 km (453 miles) of the return in roughly 6h 57m. Pulling out of Memphis (the Mississippi River blues capital and the global FedEx superhub), the road eventually puts the driver back in front of the urban skyline of Indianapolis (the capital of Indiana and home of the Indianapolis 500 motor race). Refueling sits near $61.00 for the same 66.3 liters (17.5 gallons) at the EIA national average benchmark. Return reimbursement, calculated against $0.43/km, returns $313.47 into the driver's wallet. Snap the closing odometer with the phone camera and attach it directly to the Clara receipt — internal controls accept photographic evidence without a supplementary spreadsheet.
