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

[Zzonkmiles]

This is not a thread about which interstate is your favorite or most important or whatever. 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. If an interstate is not listed, you have no experience with it at all. Let's see where this goes.

For me:

I-77 (almost daily for years)
I-20 (several times a week for years)
I-26 (several times a month for years)

I-85 (many long-distance trips and shopping trips in Charlotte)
I-95 (I-40 used to be ranked above I-95, but now that I live in the DC area, I use I-95 fairly often; also add long-distance trips)
I-66 (I live near I-66 and see it daily while I ride WMATA.)
I-40 (many drives to Durham; the I-85 concurrency helps)

I-75 (it helps that there's the I-75/85 concurrency in Atlanta, plus a few trips to Tampa)
I-64 (the I-64/95 concurrency in Richmond helps, plus a few trips to the Norfolk area)
I-81 (I've used this road as part of the I-77/81/66 route from SC to DC so I could avoid I-95 traffic)

I-4 (for the rare trip to Orlando and Tampa)
I-10 (for the even rarer trip to Tampa in which I don't take the US 301 shortcut)
I-16 (for the rare trip to Savannah)

I-83 (only driven on this road maybe 5 or 6 times in my entire life)
I-78 (only four times ever)
I-59 (only twice, but for a longer duration than I-74)
I-74 (only twice, and only as far as one exit before turning around just so I could say I've driven on it)

I-70 (exactly four times as a passenger in a bus and twice as a passenger in a taxi)
I-25 (exactly four times as a passenger)
I-93 (exactly twice as a passenger)
I-73, 79, 80, 90, 97 (I've seen shields for these interstates firsthand, but have never driven on them)

[Thing 342]

I-64 - used almost daily when at home, and for most trips out west.
I-81 - used weekly when at VT.
I-95 - used about once a month for trips to DC and the Carolinas.
I-85 - used for the quarterly trip to Atlanta, as well as less frequent trips to other NC cities.
I-20 - used for the quarterly trip to Columbia, as well as as an alternate to 85 to Atlanta.
I-26 - also used frequently when in Columbia.
I-40 - as part of the route to Atlanta and for the rare trip to Wilmington or Asheville.
I-77 - used occasionally when in Columbia and as an alternate route there.
I-75 - used occasionally when in Atlanta.
I-66 - used occasionally when on the biannual trip to DC.
I-76 - used occasionally when on the annual trip to Philly.
I-16 - used occasionally when in Savannah.
I-44 - used on the rare trip to St. Louis.
I-10 - used on the rare trip to the FL Gulf Coast.

[CNGL-Leudimin]

All of them are tied together in first place for me, because I've never been in that part of the world .

[Scott5114]

I-35: use it daily, seen everything from Dallas on north, main part of the trip to Kansas City
I-44: used it a lot when I was living in Oklahoma and going to college in Springfield, MO
I-40: use it a decent amount
I-70: use it a fair amount when I visit Kansas City, seen everything from Topeka east
I-55: used it twice, to visit Chicago and later Milwaukee (and the return trips)
I-49: used it a few times, about half of it when it was US-71 or I-540 though
I-80, I-94: used both of these about equally, both in Chicago/Milwaukee and a bigger chunk of both separately on various trips (I-80 en route to SD, I-94 en route to Ann Arbor MI)
I-43: used it to visit Milwaukee and clinched it as part of a road meet
I-27: my first big road trip as I was learning to drive was clinching I-27
I-20, 39, 57, 75, 85, 95: did big chunks of these one time on various trips
I-64, 65, 72, 76(E), 77, 90: pretty sure I've only been concurrent with these, not actually following them at the time

[nexus73]

Living on the Oregon coast and having I-5 a shade over 80 miles away as the car drives means little freeway driving.  That said I use I-5 the most over the course of my life.

Around four years in Utah meant I-15 was Numero Uno.

Two and a half years in Louisiana saw me split between I-55 and I-12 for the most part. 

Serving at March AFB and living in SoCal for a bit after that resulted on me driving on I-10 and I-15 the most.

Short stints in Washington: I-5 with occasional I-90 when in Seattle, I-90 and I-82 when in Ellensburg.

Occasional use awards go to I-84 (western) and I-80. 

One time use: I-8 (clinched), I-75.  That was in the Seventies.  I-86 in the Eighties.  I-59 in the Nineties.

Here in Arizona, I use both I-10 and I-17 with about equal frequency (maybe a slight nod to 17 if I really have to pick one over the other) driving around the Phoenix area. A very distant third place would be I-40 in the Flagstaff area. If we include single-digit interstates, I-8 is rarely used by me. And I've scarcely done any driving on I-19 at all.

When I lived in the San Fernando Valley portion of Los Angeles, most of my freeway driving was on routes that don't qualify for this topic, such as three-digit interstates and state highways (I-210, California 134). Didn't use I-10 much until I moved to Phoenix, and now I-10 is definitely my most-heavily used interstate in California simply because it's my route from Phoenix to L.A., or more accurately
Phoenix to Redlands (east of San Bernardino), where I catch the 210 for my final shot into the L.A. area. Would love to use the 10 at some point through the San Gabriel Valley (used to go to some mighty good authentic Chinese restaurants in Monterey Park [nicknamed "Little Taipei" and not to be confused with Monterey] when I lived in Los Angeles), but I just don't want to deal with the congestion!

[roadman65]

I would say that I-4, Orlando's only game in town, as all of the other freeways are toll facilities, sucks real bad do to all the population growth to overzealous developers who brought many more people to the Sunshine State.

The best interstates are:

I-24 (Scenic Beauty)
I-76 (Also Scenic)
I-57(From Effingham to just south of Kankakee)
I-71 (From Columbus to the Miami River)
I-77 (In WV)

Most boring is I-10 from Florida to Texas

[Kacie Jane]

Brief background: I've lived in Washington (mostly) since 2002, lived in New Jersey before that.

The big three:
I-5 (probably about weekly, I use I-405 daily, but OP said 2dis, various parts of I-5 have been daily in the past)
I-90 (currently somewhat less often than it's north-south brother)
I-95 (probably slightly less than weekly when I lived in New Jersey, but I've probably still done more traveling on it than any of the further away interstates out here)

Other interstates I've been on a fair handful of times in approximate order:
I-87, I-82, I-84(W), I-80, I-84(E), I-91, I-94, I-78, I-15, I-25, I-70, I-4, I-66, I-76(E)

Interstates I've been on less than a handful of times (i.e. once or twice) in numerical order:
I-10, I-26, I-40, I-64, I-71, I-77, I-86(W), I-86(E), I-93

[SignGeek101]

I've never driven in the US, but I have been a passenger.

Been on:

I-4 (first time in the US) Several times
I-75 Twice

And in 2012 going to NYC
I-81 Twice
I-380 (maybe) It was dark, and I was tired and don't really remember
I-80 (maybe) Same as above
I-95 Twice

And a few others when on a family trip from Washington back to Ottawa.

[Mapmikey]

My count is based on me driving and on a solo segment of the route...

Been on I-95 thousands of times (daily commute for 19 years and counting)
Been on I-26 hundreds of times (lived in SC)
Been on I-64 hundreds of times (lived in VA)
Been on I-85 hundreds of times (college in Clemson and wife's college in Spartanburg)
Been on these at least 50 times: 40, 66, 81
Been on these more than a dozen times: 20, 68, 70
Been of these a handful of times on trips: 10, 12, 15, 16, 24, 59, 73, ew74, 75, e76, 77, 79, 80, 83, 84, e86, 90, 97, 99
Been on these exactly 3 times: 35, 78, 87, e88, 89, 93, 94
Been on these exactly twice: 5, 25, 29, 91
Been on these exactly once: 17, 27, 30, 39, 55, 82, 71, 72, w86
Yet to drive: A1-A4; H1-H3; PR1-PR3; 4, 8, 19, 22, 37, 41, 43, 44, 45, 49*, 57, 69, w76, w88, 96
* I have once driven US 90 from Lafayette to New Orleans with Future 49 signs up

I-5: I don't use this the most now, but I've probably been on this the most total. From living around Portland and Eugene, and taking trips down to California.
I-84(W): Especially now living in Nampa, I use this a lot (multiple times a week usually). Even before now, it was probably 2nd place still. Give it enough time here and this will jump I-5.
I-82: Lived in Richland, WA for a year, Yakima for a year or 2 as a small kid, and used a few times as a through route from Idaho to Seattle.
I-90: Never lived along this corridor, but used it enough getting around the region
I-80: Taken a handful of trips to the SF Bay area. Also some around Reno.
I-10: Used bits and pieces in the LA area, but not much. Used I-210 and CA-91 more. Also as a kid, multiple trips to Palm Springs area
I-15: Used a little bit in SoCal, a little bit around SLC, and a little bit around Pocatello. Never used it for long distances.
I-86(W): Clinched it exactly one time.
I-8: Only a couple days in San Diego, a few miles each day.

I think that's all the 2DI I've used.

EDIT: Moved I-10 higher

[noelbotevera]

I-81 (use it for many trips)
I-70 (Washington D.C. and Baltimore)
I-76 (trips west)
I-95 (north and south)
I-40 (RDU airport, and other NC cities)
I-85 (other NC cities)

[jeffandnicole]

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!)

[democraticnole]

I am not exactly sure which I have used more frequently because I have lived different places, but here's my guess:

I-275 (Tampa area)
I-4 (Tampa area)
I-75
I-10
I-95 (Jacksonville)
I-295 (Jacksonville)

I don't have to get on the freeway in my commute, but I do a lot of freeway driving as a function of my job when going to meet with clients.

[roadman]

Off the top of my head:

I-93 Woburn (MA) to Andover (MA) - use two to four times a week
I-93 Woburn to Londonderry (NH) - use once or twice a month
I-95 Burlington (MA) to Lynnfield (MA) - use some or all portions within segment three to five times a week
I-95 Lynnfield to Portsmouth (NH) - use once or twice a month
I-90 Weston (MA) to Albany (NY) - use some portions or all within segment four to five times a year
I-84 Sturbridge (MA) to Scranton (PA) - use twice a year

Of course, this is for non-work related travel only.  As part of my job, I may need to drive some segments of the Massachusetts interstate system as many as five to six times a year.

[froggie]

I can't go top to bottom individually, but I can go top to bottom in groups/tiers.

In no particular order, my top tier includes the following:  10, 12, 20, 35, 59, 64, 91, 94, 95.

My second tier includes routes I've traveled frequently/extensively:  40, 55, 65, 66, 70, 78, 80, 81, 83, 84(E), 85, 87, 89, 90, 93.

My third tier includes routes I've been on occasionally, but not all that often:  24, 39, 57, 68, 71, 74, 75, 76(E), 77, 86(E), 97, 99.

My fourth tier is the routes I've only rarely (or just once) been on:  the Hawaii routes, 4, 5, 8, 15, 16, 25, 26, 29, 30, 43, 44, 45, 49, 69 (outside Texas), 72, 73, 79, 84(W), 88(both), 96.

Everything else is in my bottom tier...those routes I have not traveled yet:  2, 17, 19, 27, 37, 69 (Texas and its minions), 76(W), 82, 86(W), the hidden Alaska and PR routes.

[Brandon]

I'll follow Froggie on this and give tiers since I use certain ones rather regularly.

* Denotes a clinch of the entire route.

Top Tier (most common): 39*, 55*, 57*, 80, 88(W)*, 90, 94
Tier 2 (Used often, but not common): 65, 74*, 72*, 43*, 69, 96, 75, 41*
Tier 3 (Used less than often, but more than a few times): 70, 76(W)*, 35
Tier 4 (Used rarely, but at least once): H1, H3, 4*, 5, 8, 10, 12*, 15, 17, 20, 24*, 25, 26, 29, 30, 37, 40, 44, 45, 49, 59, 64, 66*, 71, 76(E), 77, 81, 83, 85, 91, 95

Everything else, I have never been on.

Note: I consider I-74 clinched with the original route, not that imposter in North Carolina.

[wphiii]

Tier 1 (easy winner): 76(E)
Tier 2 (easy runner-up): 70
Tier 3: 68, 79
Tier 4: 80, 95
Tier 5: 10, 24, 40, 65
Tier 6: 71, 77, 90
Tier 7 (handful of times): 25, 35, 78, 83, 97, 99
Tier 8 (1-3 times): 5, 12, 16, 19, 20, 26, 30, 44, 49, 55, 57, 64, 66, 74, 75, 81, 84 (West), 86, 89, 91, 93, 94

[briantroutman]

Top honors go to my home Interstate, one which I've clinched multiple times and the one on which I've logged (by far) the most miles of any single route.
80

The next tier consists of Interstates that were, for at least a time, fixtures of everyday life.
5, 10, 76 (E), 78, 81, 83, 95

Then, Interstates on which I've logged thousands of miles of long-distance travel.
40, 44, 70, 71, 84 (E), 90

Finally, a few honorable mentions for Interstates that don't meet the criteria.
64, 66

[pianocello]

1) 80 (part of my daily commute, route between college and home base)
2) 74 (the rest of my daily commute, also to visit family)
T3) 88, 94, 69, 65, 90, 96 (every once in a while: trips to Chicago, visiting more family, etc.)
T8) 35, 75, 55 (very short distances once in a blue moon)
T11) All others. I don't really feel like listing the ones I've been on, because the one or two times that I might have been on them were insignificant.

[theline]

A topic that really makes me think.

I'm a life-long Indiana resident, so the ones passing through the Hoosier state mostly get top billing. Most of the rest come from vacation travel. (I'll leave out the 3dis, because it's too hard to recall all of them.)

80 & 90 tie, since they are one-and-the-same in my area. I've been on both where they aren't concurrent to the east and west, probably in equal measure.
