BroadHopper,
You are probably more of the exception than the rule. Going through the tolls 20+ times a week is a lot, no argument there, so for you, you are right, it will be more money at the end of the day. However, the EZ Pass system will save time (which in my world is money) and fuel savings since you will not need to come to a complete stop or nearly complete stop, going through the toll. Also, the difference between the discounts is going to cost you $3 more per week based on your math. IMO not a bad deal considering you'll never have to roll down your window during a snow storm, heat wave or downpour. You won't have to fumble for tokens while driving 65 MPH in traffic thus making you a safer driver and the people around you safer drivers as you can concentrate completely on driving. You're still paying less than the full toll so I think it's a good deal. I am just glad that NH is finally moving forward with this technology. It's been a long time coming.
