You can make this a little shorter by taking S. Fairview Ave off RT-40 just before Astor Park. Also depending on where in TV you are headed you can take a left on CR-25 at Weirsdale and that will take you right to the RaceTrac gas station on 441.
I have to agree with you that this is a very pleasant and enjoyable way to go and you can make time if you so desire. The 301 route has a lot of stop and go traffic to go along with the speed enforcement thing.
I just got through playing around with some GPS items today and have some of the routes already plotted. Using MapSource I have the interstate speed set at 67 mph, major highways at 58 mph other roads at 45 mph and connector roads set at 35 mph.
From the Florida state line on I-95:
via 207 through Palatka is 176 miles with a driving time of 3:09:57
via I-295 / I-10 / 301 is 157 miles with a driving time of 2:41:54
via RT-40 / RT-19 / RT-42 / RT-25 is 186 miles and a driving time of 3:09:03
via I-295 / I-10 / I-75 / Wildwood is 215 miles and a driving time of 3:22:33
Your driving times may very.
