Quick question- time/cost from slope to penn station?

I've got to go to Penn station for work and am considering taking a car in the morning- I need to arrive there around 7:30 weekday mornings.

Does anyone know aprox. how long this ride takes via car and how much it will cost? I'm in south slope on 7th near 15th.
Thanks!

    I'd say that if you're lucky and there's no traffic (which I don't think there would be that early), you're looking at 20 minutes and 25-30$.

    Subject: how did it go?

    So Carmen, did you end up taking a car to Penn Station on weekday morning(s)? I am curious about the outcome. Have to get to Penn Station early one morning this week myself.

    Thanks.

    I did, I had to go three times and took Legend twice and eastern once. Both were $25 plus an additional $2 fee for using my cc, and legend charged me an additional $5 to go through the tunnel (it was a morning that it was icy so it was worth it.) It takes about 20-30 minutes, I'd say 25 on a normal morning but I left the house at 6:20 so traffic was less than it would be later I would imagine.

    the tunnel toll is $4.50 and $4.00 with EZ PASS (which is required by the TLC for all taxi and Livery cars) ( it will be $5 and $4.15 cash after March 16th)

    You should have only paid $4.00. This is the kind of behavior that gives New Yorker cab drivers a bad name in the eyes of the tourists. Last time a driver did that to me I just asked him if I looked like a tourist and if he wanted me to report him to the TLC
