RE:"We drove from Vegas to Phoenix (3 people, one Toyota RAV-4, 300 miles) this weekend on 10 gallons of unleaded. If you exclude the Cheeze doodles and soft drinks, prolly spent $20......" Yeah but during those hours you would have made $10000 at the gaming tables so it really cost you $10020.

I just made a 2100-mile trip in my Prius. Spent about $78 on gasoline, or about 3.7 cents a mile. A lot of that was driving 75 mph. Spent a lot more on a meal for two at Gallatoire's in New Orleans. (Two tables over James Carville was taking it easy after the presidnetial campaign, with his teenage daughter; they were joined by the announcer for Monday Night Football--the Saints vs. the Packers was played the next night.) The only other name I have to drop would be that of the nameless ducks at the Peabody in Memphis: youtube.com
