Missouri → Tennessee · Interstate 70 / Interstate 35
Outside sales reps regularly slot the Kansas City, Missouri, → Memphis, Tennessee, leg into the weekly visit calendar precisely because the 702 km (436 miles) along Interstate 70 / Interstate 35 fit inside 6h 41m of continuous driving and still leave room for a full client meeting before the homeward trip. Pulling out of Kansas City — the Missouri jazz and barbecue capital straddling the state line and a key Midwest rail hub — the route crosses light industrial zones, then farmland, before opening into Memphis, the Mississippi River blues capital and the global FedEx superhub. The budget line item calls for 63.8 liters (16.9 gallons) of regular unleaded (about $58.70 at the national average benchmark of 0.92 USD/liter), plus discretionary tolls billed per axle. Reimbursement math, against the IRS standard mileage rate (2025) schedule of $0.43/km, returns $301.86 to the contributor at week-end.
