Taking 70 would be an option and might be a smarter route. Even if it's longer mileage, we come out better VS if we are sitting in stop and go traffic our mileage will plummet to about 2-4 miles per gallon. If we are rolling at speed limit, then we will be getting 7-9 miles per gallon.
I have read horror stories of people waiting for hours in some spots or it takes you hours to move a small distance. This is something I definitely need to avoid.

Take 301 south. It is an alternate route. Go to google maps and get directions from Deale MD to Fredericksburg VA. You will get two routes. Choose the second to see the route I am talking about and you'll figure out how to tailor it to your trip. That is the way we took when driving down to FL. It's mostly two lanes in both directions but its not too many lights and moves quickly.
