That does surprise me. I just googled, and the drive time from Cincinnati to DC is barely shorter than the Detroit to DC drive. Even though Detroit is so much further north, and Cincy and DC are basically at the same latitude line, the difference is only like 20 minutes. Due to the mountains and lack of freeways in eastern OH and WV, you have to go north (almost to Pittsburgh) and then back south to get to Washington, whereas Detroit's a more straight shot.
