New York → Pennsylvania · Interstate 90 / Interstate 390
Before turning the key for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on the homeward run from Rochester, New York, 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 90 / Interstate 390 accepts the 426 km (265 miles) of the return in roughly 4h 3m. Pulling out of Rochester (the Genesee Valley city and historic Eastman Kodak headquarters), the road eventually puts the driver back in front of the urban skyline of Pittsburgh (the historic Steel City at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers). Refueling sits near $35.60 for the same 38.7 liters (10.2 gallons) at the EIA national average benchmark. Return reimbursement, calculated against $0.43/km, returns $183.18 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.
