    My parents "beater" minivan 1998 Windstar and the 2004 Sienna***
    One-Way Trip: 1173 Miles
    48.88 Gallons Used
    $140.41 Fuel Cost
    Round-Trip: 2346 Miles
    97.76 Gallons Used
    $280.82 Fuel Cost

    My midsize car made by same company as beater. 2000 Taurus.
    One-Way Trip: 1173 Miles
    55.86 Gallons Used
    $160.47 Fuel Cost

    Round-Trip: 2346 Miles
    111.72 Gallons Used
    $320.94 Fuel Cost

    My dad's Yukon XL (the trailer vehicle):
    One-Way Trip: 1173 Miles
    83.79 Gallons Used
    $240.71 Fuel Cost

    Round-Trip: 2346 Miles
    167.58 Gallons Used
    $481.42 Fuel Cost

    *** Both vehicles get EPA same mileage, actual costs will be slightly more expensive for the Sienna since it Requires premium fuel. Note if your car uses premium fuel that the fuel costs are based on regular grade.

    Just some food for thought. As well if your a lead foot expect that to go up.

    No apologies, that is still a far drive, so I don't blame you for wanting to fly!

Sign up on their website to receive these notices and you'll stay up on when to purchase. We flew to Washington DC last year for $300, 2 round trip tickets whereas Delta was $600 for the very same trip! That is flying from Atlanta to DC.
