Cost to Drive (and fly)!
I've been working with these folks on a new site that lets you figure out how much it would cost to drive anywhere. It also allows you to compare
what it would cost to fly.
I hope this helps as we all know money is tighter than a tick on a hog these days, so give these folks a try!
http://www.costtodrive.com/
They also share a space on the NABX links page.

DRIVING...sheeeze
I've got my mileage figured...
at 1,097 miles at 12mpg max. fully loaded
I'll spend 91.41 gallons each way at an optimistic $3.00 a gallon = $274.25
so If I plan to drive I'll spend an easy $600 on gas...probably about $400.00 on lube and truck check up...
so for a cool $1,000...i'll get to drove 44 hrs for 7 days OF Nabx, 5 nights in a hotel, all the $5 prime rib I can eat, some gamblin, but most of all
we'll all be kickin it with the coolest people IN THE WORLD!!
I might be crazy, but, ARE WE THERE YET

Way wrong!
It says it would cost me $360 round trip from Lafayette, LA to NABX. First I can't believe we would find gas for $1.98 a gallon. Last year it cost us
$1200 in gas.

Last year we found $79 airfare to Vegas 
I think the rent a car was under $20 a day for an HHR.
With the cheap Hotel rates, Prime Rib and entry fee . Combined with the huge feed of at the tent and free T-shirt, what can I say !
My trip to NABX last year was by leaps and bounds one of the cheapest vacations I have EVER had :wee:
It is way up there with the most fun vacations I have had as well.
It's a tight year for travel bucks but possibly the best bang for your buck will be a trip to NABX

Each of those stops shows the current gas price at that location if you click on "how we got our numbers" or something like that. I was just busting
on you about the lube job. Still that's a lot of money though it seems. Tranny ought to be on the list for that money I would think.

BB, oh yeah, when I take the truck 1,000 or more I always have it all checked if my shop reccommends I'll service it all...I try to plan for the
worse...and I'm need my wheels...
dakites, I'd like you to dial up a strong NW wind for my departure...it make a diff if the wind is pushing....driving west through hood river is a
major milage killer...on the other hand, heading east is sweet on the pocket
