The most expensive car toll can be found on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. If you enter at the Ohio line and exit the Northeast Extension at Clarks Summit, without an E-ZPass, it will set you back $124.90. If you were to drive an eight-axle high-profile truck that weighs over 100,000 pounds, be prepared to shell out $870.60. You might find it worthwhile to get an E-ZPass. It will save you $435. PS: Take that trip before January 7, 2024. Tolls are scheduled to increase about 5%.
