and average 3.20 a gallon,..... roughly 280-300 bucks to go your determined distance.
Hopefully you'll be able to buy all your gas down south because premium is about $3.59 around here.

Should take about 100 gallons...at whatever the going rate is when you fill up.

If you are getting 260 highway without flogging your car, something is wrong. I have gotten damn near 400 using cruise during long trips.
400 miles out of a 13 gallon tank? You must've been filling up when the tank was practically dry!

I can get premium here for a little over $3 and get 27 mpg cruising with the top down. In this weather driving with the top up should net a couple more.


But if you guess that you will pay $3.30 for an average gallon, (you could even get by with 90 octane for steady cruising) and get about 28 mpg would cost $280-$300.
