LOL... I was contemplating this very thing this morning. About 2/3 of the way
through this message http://archives.dakota-truck.net/0604/0414.html you can
see what my thoughts were (text search for "Kansas").

Really? I had figured it was about 45 miles longer. I think my I-80 route
was using the ultra-expensive 470, which might save some distance. Granted,
I've just been using Google Maps and/or Mapquest, which can be pretty
imprecise. I've got TripMaker set up on the laptop at home, I'll have to fire
that up and see what it says.

I'd be interested to check that out, thanks. What software are you using?
