$1200-1600 in gas? What are you driving a tank?
Its what, 800-1000 miles from Tennessee to Daytona, my 5 year old Civic gets roughly...35 miles to the gallon highway driving... holds roughly 13 gallons of gas. Thus, I can drive 455 miles per tank, so it will take at most, two and a half tanks of gas to get to Daytona. So, if gas is $5 a gallon...each tank will cost $65, one way trip, no more than $195 which is the total for three full tanks of gas...return trip will be less than $400 and that is being generous and probably with a half tank of gas left. A far cry from $1200.

Unless you drive a quarter ton truck which gets 10 miles to the gallon...
