    Oh wow, are there variable prices?
    A begrudging credit to EastLink tho, at least their tollway is smooth sailing and not the clusterfuck that is the M11 Pen Link, which I spend a lot of time on

      Hey, it’s fixed prices but variable traffic. My above point was referencing the cost of the North-West to South-East run coming back from say Castlemaine to Springvale which is about $12, rather than the eastlink costs which are about $6-7 if you use the melba tunnel.

      Sorry my point was unclear. Fixed prices but variable traffic. If I’m not driving in peak hours, I’ll compare the time of the toll/no-toll roads vs the cost. Often no tolls is only a smidge longer and is free so I’ll take that late at night.
