Ohio → Missouri · Interstate 71 / Interstate 75
Outside sales reps regularly slot the Cincinnati, Ohio, → St. Louis, Missouri, leg into the weekly visit calendar precisely because the 584 km (363 miles) along Interstate 71 / Interstate 75 fit inside 5h 34m of continuous driving and still leave room for a full client meeting before the homeward trip. Pulling out of Cincinnati — the Ohio River metropolis and historic Queen City of the Midwest — the route crosses light industrial zones, then farmland, before opening into St. Louis, the historic Gateway to the West and a major Mississippi River freight port. The budget line item calls for 53.1 liters (14.0 gallons) of regular unleaded (about $48.85 at the national average benchmark of 0.92 USD/liter), plus discretionary tolls billed per axle. Reimbursement math, against the IRS standard mileage rate (2025) schedule of $0.43/km, returns $251.12 to the contributor at week-end.
