It's 910 miles from our house in NH.
Expect to fill up about 3 times.
(sometimes we just top off even if not close to empty - it depends on breaks and such).
Expect to pay a little over $100 in gas each way, based on current gas costs and a 15 gallon tank running 28 mpg (these are all rough estimates based on last year's trip).
The truck has a 38 gallon tank and gets about 10 mpg towing.
lol!

I have two spare two-ways if you guys need some.
Good luck on the trip, guys! You've every idea how much I want to go - perhaps things will fall in place better next year.

yeah, we should have taken advantage of the towel room.
staying awake can be very hard...but roadhead in every state helps with that. I highly recommend everybody get some!
dang..i got a lot of work to do in two weeks.
LCAs...alignment...SFCs...oil change...cosmetic mods...
blah...

I need to change the oil on my car also and I am going to change the lower control arms too this weekend, don't think that I will get the subframe connectors in before SZ though, have a few other things to work on too, got to see about getting my AC fixed also
and to add to my list a torque wrench would be good to have, more so for those with aftermarket wheels when you need to check that out
