Michigan → Kentucky · Interstate 75 / Interstate 94
Before turning the key for Louisville, Kentucky, out of Detroit, Michigan, run through the pre-trip checklist: registration card in the glovebox, current insurance card on your phone, working SunPass or E-ZPass transponder for the electronic toll plazas along Interstate 75 / Interstate 94, and a printed backup of the destination address in case GPS reception drops. The locked itinerary measures 600 km (373 miles) with an optimistic estimate of 5h 43m if cruise control sits steadily within the posted limit. Pulling out of Detroit, the Motor City and historic capital of the American auto industry, the road eventually delivers you to Louisville, the largest city in Kentucky and home of the Kentucky Derby horse race. Schedule departure outside the morning rush window and pack a thermos of coffee to skip an unscheduled stop in the first hundred miles. Budget around $50.14 just for the pump (54.5 liters / 14.4 gallons of regular unleaded) plus headroom for tolls. Outbound reimbursement at $0.43/km equals $258.00 cleared to the driver.
