Taking the turnpike from Philly to Harrisburg is only like $3-5. Definitely worth it compared to taking Route 30 PAST THE OUTLETS after CHRISTMAS!
I go that way when I attend autocrosses. I go through that area around 6am and there's traffic.
From my house near Lancaster to KOP via turnpike = 60 minutes (driving a little faster than the speed limit)
From my house near Lancaster to KOP via Route 30 = 45 minutes (@ 6am).
From my house near Lancaster to KOP via Route 30 = 90-120 minutes (@ 9am til midnight)
