nyc: My sister and I are planning a road trip from NYC to San Francisco this summer, and we were wondering (assuming the car and the other variables are averagely priced/consumed) how much it would cost!|||one way? 2911 miles if you go I-80 all the way, remember I-80 is a toll way in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois area, total toll will be around $12 . You will need 130 gallon gas x $4= $520 You need 4 night motel stay, let's say $60 average x4= $240, driving in fatigue is discouraged. Food and drink for $30 average per day X 5=$150 If you want to stop over at Chicago, Denver and detour to Yellowstone, Arch national parks, expect $100 more per day. Probably you need $1000, why not take flight, it is $129 one-way( total $150) now with promotion code and 6 hour flights|||Too many variables, really. OK, for starters, are you going back? One-way, figure 2500 miles, 20 miles to a gallon, $ 4/gallon, that's $500 for gas. (Keep breathing.) Add fur nights in cheap motels at $50, that's another $200 (and serious driving days.)|||No way to tell. It would depend on the type of car and its mileage/how you drive, the route, what you consider a cheap hotel and how often you'd be stopping.
