The fine for not carrying chains on I-70 between mileposts 133–259 from Sept. 1–May 31 is $50 plus a $17 surcharge. Statewide, the fine for not chaining up when the chain law is in effect is $500 plus a $79 surcharge. The fine for blocking a highway as a result of not chaining up is $1,000 plus a $157 surcharge.

Other than the surcharge, I was correct. Forgot about the surcharge.
Never paid attention to the cost of running when the chain up was in progress, because my truck would be stopped long before that point.
