How would you rank the interstates by how much you've actually used them?

Mine are extremely heavily weighted between two of them, because of my location and normal travels:

I-76...although rarely more than about 4 miles of it, and mostly when I go from NJ to PA for sporting events and anything Philadelphia related.  When I go to Ohio and points West, I'm still solely using I-76 for several hundred miles. (I'm not going to count I-70 overlapping)

I-95, mostly PA and points south.  But same thing - I can get all the way to Florida via this one route.

After that, the rank/importance drops with a thud, and are far removed from my home area.  My next two are probably I-80 and I-10 for trips related to both Ohio & Florida.  And I-15 on my many trips to Vegas.

Anything else are just based on road trips and vacations.

(Edit for Fun, related to an above post.  I've driven on H1 more than I-78 & 83, despite living within 100 miles of 78 & 83.  And I've only spent one vacation on Oahu!)


If we include 3dis, then my tier 1 route is I-295: Nearly every day for the past 19 years; nearly every week for the past 23 years.

If we're talking only 2dis, here's my list...

I-80 -- couple of times a year
I-5 -- couple of times a year
I-15 -- once a year

If 3dis are included here's my list...

I-280 -- daily
I-880 -- almost daily
I-680 -- monthly
I-580 -- monthly
I-205 -- monthly
I-80 -- couple of times a year
I-5 -- couple of times a year
I-15 -- yearly

If I owned a dam and decided to donate it to charity, would I be giving a dam? I'm sure that might be a first because no one really gives a dam.

I'm just curious to see which interstates (2di) you've traveled on from the most times to the fewest times--not just which interstates you use now, but which interstates you've used at any time in your lives as a driver. The interstate you list first is the one you've driven on the most. The interstate you list last is the one you've traveled on the fewest times.

I'm taking this literally as purely the number of different times driven on an interstate without regard to distance traveled, so if I've driven on Interstate A 50 times but only two miles each time that counts as 50 and if I drove on Interstate B only once but went 500 miles that counts as 1.
