Buying Gas in the USA

This image is of the cost of gas in areas around the US. As you can see, California has some of the highest in the country, giving us a little leeway in the cost of gas.

Gas:

*7482 miles

*36 mpg

*7579 divided by 36

*207 times gas price

*207 times $4.00 a gallon

$831 for gas

Instead of the Lexus we were originally planning to take, which had 25 mpg, we are now taking a Toyota Yaris, a cool 36 mpg. This shaved off around $400 in gas!
