You will be navigating local roads for the entirety of the 73.8-mile trek, which requires more attention behind the wheel than a typical highway commute.

Most of the miles stay on highways, which makes pacing and fuel planning easier than turn-by-turn city driving.
There are about 14 navigation steps in the underlying route data, so the final approach matters more than the middle miles.
