Connecticut → New York · Interstate 84 / Interstate 91
Returning from Hartford, Connecticut, back to Buffalo, New York, the itinerary retraces the same 619 km (385 miles) of the outbound segment, predominantly via Interstate 84 / Interstate 91, adding another 5h 54m to the corporate odometer. Unlike the outbound leg, the homeward journey is usually executed at the close of the business day, when heavy truck traffic, accumulated fatigue, and dropping daylight all demand sharper focus. Anyone hoping to ease the arrival back into Buffalo, the western New York gateway to the Niagara Frontier and Lake Erie, may consider an overnight stop in a midpoint town and splitting the haul into two shorter stints. Fuel expense holds steady near $51.80, totalling roughly 112.6 liters for the entire trip when added to the outbound segment. The return reimbursement reaches $266.17, doubling the aggregate payout for the full journey. Log each leg separately in the Clara receipt, with distinct timestamps, so the paperwork accurately mirrors the vehicle's actual movement.
