Went through PA Thanksgiving weekend and needed gas. The cheapest I could find on my car’s GPS was $2.63.
When I went to pay, I mentioned it to the store clerk. She said “The idiots in Harrisburg just raised it.” She was p.o. mad.
(My son live in Silicon Valley. Gas is about $3.50. He is p.o. mad.)
“a small piece of electrical tape”
I like that. I have two 3s in my plate that could be 8s!
Such a great video.
EZ-pass?
EZ pass? Two gin and tonics and a backseat... Happy Motoring..
Happy New Year! It seems this happens every year. Bunch of lazy ass greedy state employees. (not workers)
I remember driving through Pennsylvania in 1977 and throwing hand fulls of quarters into baskets along the toll ways. Being from the rural West, it was a new experience for me.
I got stopped by a state cop on the Pa. Turnpike, in the 60s. He said he clocked me at 115 mph. He just told me to slow down.
Probably helped that I was wearing a uniform.
When I started using it (Harrisburg to New Stanton), the toll was $14 +. Last time I used it (last year) the toll rate was $24 +. In the span of maybe 8 years.
Now, I take highway 68.
Yes indeed.

Someone’s gotta pay for those election fraud worker bees.
It was only a few years ago that Obama and Clinton’s buddy Slick Eddie Rendell wanted to turn I-80 into a turnpike and privatize the PA turnpike system to his Democrat friends.
We got EZ Pass when we accidentally drove through a toll (wrong lane) in NJ and were sent a $50 bill for what was a $1.50 toll.
That was my last trip to the beach for years
Screw em.
Is Dominion systems involved in this too?
She used to blow Bubbles down by the lake - at least that’s what Bubbles says.
FWIW, I believe a phone call would have resulted in a $1.50 toll instead of $50; they routinely send out those letters with $50 fine and toss them when people call with an explanation.
If private companies imposed such harsh penalties, they would be called before Congress.
But got can impose harsh penalties and it is no problemo.
True. I generally don’t use toll roads much, so when I do I’m shocked at how expensive they’ve become. Here in NJ you can only charge a toll where there is a free alternative; at the south end of the Garden State Parkway, Route 9 (the free alternative) shares the roadway so there are no tolls for a stretch.
