Drove 714 miles, burned 56.8 gallons of 93 octane, averaged 12.57 mpg with a basically stock 350 HP 396, TH 400, 3.07, spent $284.01 and have a little over 1/2 tank left. Average cost per gallon was $4.167.
It was worth every penny!!

Now much did you spend on beer?

 

[Derek69SS]

1500 miles round trip, averaging ~16mpg here (got 18 when wife was driving, 15 when I was driving ) so we spent about $375 on fuel. I thought I'd like the 4.10 gears with O/D, but I really don't... I'll be swapping to 3.50:1 before I do any more road trips.

I only spent about $20 on beer, but I drink Natural Light so $20 buys a lot of beer. My beer expenses were about equal to my Waffle House expenses.

 

[Ark68SS]

$0.00, I don't drink beer. Bought a 34 oz travel cup (we're calling them "sippy cups") at the Mapco store and over the weekend drank a fifth of Crown Royal and 7-up. Had a swig of Greg's brew #2 out of the Mason jar, too. :secret:

High was 4.25, Low was 3.79, Ave price for reg unleaded was 3.968. Used 180 Gal at an estimated cost of $712 (probably less in actual dollars, NY was 4.25 with one fill up and the 3.79-3.95 covered most other fill-ups). Traveled about 1950 miles at just under 11MPG.

 

[SSuper Dave]

1800 mile round trip, 10 mpg on an '08 GMC 3/4 ton 4wd Duramax/Allison combo towing a 30' enclosed v-nose trailer weighing 8200# and rolling 75 mph the whole way. Spent about $845 with diesel averaging $4.69/gal. Spent $85 on cee-gars and around $40 on beer, and aonther $50 on Waffle House. Coulda been worse.

 

[T-Man]

We drove our little gas mule, spent about $300 and averaged 14 mpg with 3.73 gears with tall tires. That was better than I expected but we stayed around 60-65 mph.

 

[Chevycollecter]

I spent $330 on gas, average around $4.09 a gallon. 1200 mile round trip. Works out to roughly 15 m.p.g. Happy with that. Gas was nothing compared to the money I spent on parts from the vendors at the show. Front disc brake set up for the wagon, four wheel disc brake set up and other parts for the 65 El Camino project. Worth every penny, had a great time. Mark

[BlueSS454]

I spent about $600 in diesel, and $130 in the car. I went down with $900, came back with $75. I had help splitting the costs of fuel and the hotel.

 

[Andy69]

lessee, 430 miles round trip, 17 gallons, about 25 mpg, $68 total.

I spent more on gas than beer, but not food. I like to eat more than I like to drink beer

 

[70RatRocket]

1500 miles here too. About $850. in fuel just for the truck (8.1 Gas burner) and worth every penny of it. 2 cases of Bud Light in 4 nights, OUCH!!

 

[Les Saville]

My 5.3L Surburban averaged 14mpg according to the computer while towing the Chevelle on my open trailer using 87 octane in third gear at an average speed of 60mph. Not too bad!

 

[Wheelhop]

I got about 10 mpg in my diesel ford 99 f250 towing a 26 ' enclosed trailer. It's about 1000 miles round trip from Chicago and back, diesel was around 4.65 per gallon so I spent about $450 on Fuel.

All you guys should be commended on your trip. Thanks for making CB what it is today.

And that don't count what you swiped out of my cooler!:beers:

A little more than $800 in gas and I agree with Dave, worth every penny!

 

[von]

Drove 580 miles at 14 mpg with my '02 Silverado reg cab 5.3 towing an open trailer. Av $3.96/ gal for total of $164. About $2 for beer. I can't stay up late enough for Waffle House.

 

[novaderrik]

someone ought to go to one of those greenie websites where they brag about how high they got the mpg meter on their hybrids and post a link to this thread..
just the thought of people using that much fuel just to go hang out with other people that used that much fuel would probably make some of their heads explode..
