- What about the (approx) 15 miles of 355 in the Chicago 'burbs? I drive it
- about once a month, but it costs me 85 cents to go about 8 miles. It costs 50
- cents when you get on at the south end (I-55) then another 35 cents when you
- exit at Roosevelt Rd.

- I'm sure one of our readers from Chicagoland could give a toll-total from end
- to end, but I'll bet it's among the highest per-mile cost.
