Been travelling on many visits throughout Mexico for the last 26 years and so far I have only used toll roads for very short hops on maybe ten occasions,excluding unavoidable toll bridges.I am just downright frugal and in no hurry . If you too can afford the time stick to the toll free roads, enjoy the local color, dodge the toll booths by going through the towns while the circonvalente is the toll route. You will save enough money every time to pay for a room for th e night or buy a tank of gas. Why the seeming rush to get an iron butt qouta of km every day ? The toll roads are indeed very sparsely used just because they are so expensive, the locals and O./o. truckers cant afford them , just the wealthy businessmen, corporate truckers and scared tourists. Admittedly , some of the toll roads do run some scenic paths which are not available toll free , and I plan to take some of those yet, once, but not to make time.
