Florida has the most miles of I-95 with 382. Maine is the answer to our quiz, with the second most at 303. South Carolina is third with 199, and New Hampshire is last with 16.

While Maine does have a wonderful coastline and the honor of making the finals of our license plate tournament, it was not one of the original thirteen colonies — Maine and Florida are the only two states on I-95 not in the original 13. Vermont is also not one of the original 13, but alas I-95 does not run through it.
