Our trip to KYIP was really a bargain as far as fuel costs are concerned.
Driving distance would have been 956 round trip. In our gas guzzler Tahoe
it would have cost $231 for gas and taken 18 hours. The Aztec used 100
gallons during 4.6 tach / 5.0 hours hobbs costing $380. Yeah, I know,
most trips don't require that you drive around a lake But when you can
instead go over it, it sure is nice!

1000 miles
20 mpg
50 gallons x $3/per
$150

956 miles
24 mpg ...on road trips, in the '94 Grand Caravan (3.3 Six).
40 gallons x $3/per
$120

It looks like (Tahoe) vs. (23-24 gph) is costing you an extra $100 for every
1,000 miles driven @ $3/gallon prices.

You have got to get one of these used minivans. :-)
