I-40 From Benson to Wilmington.

...is its own state now?

Technically yeah, but if I have to pick a state, I'll go with Virginia. It's boring sitting on I-95 with little to no landscape.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Florida (or I missed it). 75 is a bore from Naples to Georgia. 10 is relentlessly boring from Duval to Pensacola and it goes on way longer than you think - there's 160 miles of it in Central Time Zone! Haven't done much 95 outside of Miami, Daytona, and Jax and those are fun, but I imagine there must be some boring stretches in between if 75 is any indication.

I-75 is a bore in the Everglades also.  I don't know why so many road people are fascinated when US 27 and US 41 are way more interesting in the Everglades.

People saw a 2-lane interstate on maps in the '80s and freaked out I guess.

There's still one today.  I-93 at Franconia, NH.  Proceed with the freakout now.

I-55 between Gardner and Springfield IL, sure. And I-65 between Gary and Indy.

And in Eastern Washington state, I-90 and I-82, are similarly flat and long.

I-90 is only boring from George to about Sprague. The rest is full of interesting terrain and features: Snoqualmie Pass, the eastern slope forests, the Columbia Gorge at Vantage, the pine forests near Spokane.

I-82 goes through wine country and has some interesting terrain near Yakima and Kennewick.
