I have to dispute that a bit, Marty. I-80 in PA is down one hill and up the next, versus I-90 in NY, which has one hard pull about 30 miles west of Albany, and a similar down hill about 20 miles past that. Other than that, it is quite flat. The drawbacks to I-90 are the tolls and lake-effect snow on the western end of NY. I would agree that it might be worth running the extra miles to avoid dealing with the border.
