The biggest problem you may have won't be with interstates and gas availability but with hotel rooms. We left TV about 8:15 Saturday morning to travel to Connecticut for July/ August.
Traffic was heavy in South Carolinas between Hilton Head and the I-26 junction so we decided we would remain on 95 until we got to I-64 in Virginia. We started looking for a hotel room about 9:30 in Charlottesville, VA and stopped looking for one about 3:30 in Hazleton, PA off I-81, We arrived at oiur daughter's in Connecticut about 6:30 am, safe but exhausted.
We did follow the stereotype of the aging Villager on Sunday: we took a couple of afternoon naps watching golf and went to bed at 9 pm.
My recommendation to you is to be sure to make a reservation wherever you normally stop. Although we've never needed a reservation before until this trip, we won't make the drive again without one.
Safe travels.
