Take the bus. It's the cheapest way to make this trip, and the price gap is usually bigger than people expect.

Tickets start at around $22 (€18) compared to roughly $81 (€68) in fuel and tolls — a saving of about $59 (€50). The journey takes 6h 18m versus 5h 38m by car, so you'll arrive a bit later, but you can use the time productively rather than spending it behind the wheel.
