I just stumbled upon this very useful site – Cost To Drive. What does it do? Simply enter where you are going and what you are driving, and it will tell you (approximately) how much the trip will cost (in terms of gasoline). Sometimes, I love the Internet.
Before posting this article, I did a bit of searching. It looks like there are a few sites that offer tools that help you calculate how much gasoline you will use on a trip.
Gas Addict – Uses a map-based tool. It takes a minute or two to figure out, but it works pretty well. You can enter multiple points along your trip.
Triple A – Has a very basic calculator. There’s not much to it, to be honest.
MSNBC – This is very simple. Just enter how far you are going, the cost of gas, and your gas mileage.
All of these calculators will get the job done, but I really like the one from Cost to Drive. Check them out and let me know what you think.

The Cost To Drive calculator is by far the best. I’m fixing to take a long drive/trip so I used the calculator to figure out how much I need to cut my regular budget by to make up for the cost of the extra gas. Kudos to you!
Thanks for this, I’m taking a trip this weekend and this is very helpful!

Here’s our market view on American stock market for 13th October, 2008
You all know my opinion – we have the characteristics of at least “a” bottom. Look at the scoreboard – Dow and S&P 500 down 18% last week, in only a week. If that doesn’t show irrational dumping the only other environment that probably would is an official end of the world pronouncement from on high.
The VIX Index (69.96) soared to a record high; bears at extreme high levels, bulls no where to be found; valuation levels the best since Black Monday, October 19, 1987. And back then you could buy AAA long term munis yielding 10% or better vs. around 4.75% today.
No one can call bottom in advance with confidence, but we can correctly report that the conditions for at least a bounce are in place, assuming we are not headed for a 1929 depression.
We are not, but don’t take my word on this. Last Tuesday, Oct. 7, Gary Becker the 1992 Nobel economic laureate, professor of economics at the University of Chicago stated in the Wall Street Journal – “we’re not headed for a depression.”
He states, “World economic growth will recover once we are over the present severe difficulty.” Also he states, “Although it is the most severe financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930’s it is a far smaller crisis, especially in terms of the effects on output and employment.”

FWIW, this calculator is inaccurate. First of all, I do not get the 36 mpg that the site claims. Secondly, gas in my area is at least a dollar more per gallon than the price they use. According to their calculator, I would pay just under $6 for a round trip from home to work. In actuality, I pay more than $11. A HUGE difference. This is why I carpool…
