Take 301, cross I-10, R on FL200 to I-95----------------------148 miles

So the shortest way to a common location on 95 N, by far is 301
The few towns you hit on 301 are minimal, and I agree that jumping on 75 just N of Ocala saves a few minutes, especially if you are headed to the southern end of TV
Im not understanding why you quoted my post. I fail to see who's balloon you are popping. The OP asked the best route to I 95. I agreed with a poster about the 42 to 19 to 40 route. The fact is going this route will put you on I 95 in a little over an hour from the northern part of The Villages. That was the question.
