I though you may be interested in the cost of driving my car on my last long trip. It will be interesting to compare to my trip through Europe.
The following are running cost for my trip to all 48 states in the summer / fall of 2010
327/350 L79 engine .060 over 300,000 miles on original engine new rebuild for trip
Stock Holly 4 bl.
Original drive train 3.70 rear and M20 wide ratio Muncie
All continuous 48 states driven through
Start in Cape Elizabeth Maine and Finish in Cape Elizabeth ME
08/02/2010 to 10/29/2010
Total Miles driven 19,284
Total Gallons of Gas used 1,222
Miles per Gallon 15.7
Total Cost Gas $ 3,822
Average Price/Gal $ 3.11
As you can see , gas is much less per gallon then Europe, but the mileage that I will travel will be 60 % less
Shipping will be a big cost also
It will be fun to price it all out.....no fun to pay it out.....
But as the say (US TV) " The Experience " " Priceless "
