We are planning a trip to the World first week in Feb. This will be our first time driving. Around how much should I expect to pay for gas for our trip up and back? We are driving from Wilmington, DE.
Hi MinnieGi,
The last time we drove (Aug. 01), I budgeted $100 for gas each way -- I remember thinking I was over-budgeting, but actually came pretty close to this. I think tolls were about $10.
I'm not sure how many miles your drive is. My round trip is 2000 miles and I get 28mpg. I spend anywhere from $80 - $110 for our gas. Last week was the most I've spent since gas prices are so high. Hope this helps.
Actually in order to give you a good estimate we need to know the type of vehicle you plan to drive. If you have an SUV or a Chrysler Van, then expect to pay out the big dollars. On the other hand if you have a more modern vehicle such as a recent model Honda Accord then you will pay half the amount.
