Next saturday i head to WV for a meet, and from there to texas. I have a total of 3200 miles round trip. Gas prices here are around $3.04-$3.09 premium, i don't even pay attention to regular anymore. I normally average 17-19mpg, mix city and highway, agressive and passive driving.
If i take all that into account, manage to average 20mpg, that's 160 gallons of gas. If i manage to average $3.10 per gallon, i'm looking at $496 in gas from philly to texas and back.
Chances are, my new 5MT will be very exciting and i'll be driving a bit agressively, or at least tempted to, so i'm trying to plant he trip to involve a lot of highway, instead of smaller roads, so i can just "cruise" most of the way, thus less opertunity to jump on the accellerator.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!
