Virginia → Pennsylvania · Interstate 95 / Interstate 64
Before turning the key for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on the homeward run from Richmond, Virginia, do a quick inventory sweep of onboard equipment: proposal binder, undelivered promotional items, and visitor badge should each go into a separate compartment so nothing slides into the footwell during a sharp brake. Interstate 95 / Interstate 64 accepts the 461 km (286 miles) of the return in roughly 4h 23m. Pulling out of Richmond (the capital of Virginia and historic gateway to the American South), the road eventually puts the driver back in front of the urban skyline of Pittsburgh (the historic Steel City at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers). Refueling sits near $38.55 for the same 41.9 liters (11.1 gallons) at the EIA national average benchmark. Return reimbursement, calculated against $0.43/km, returns $198.23 into the driver's wallet. Snap the closing odometer with the phone camera and attach it directly to the Clara receipt — internal controls accept photographic evidence without a supplementary spreadsheet.
