Sometime in the next few weeks I will be leaving Hollister, CA heading
toward Covina, near LA for a couple of days. Then it will be off to the
Ozarks. My trip planning shows a bit under 2000 miles total. Towing I get
something like 9.5 mpg and with an average gasoline price of $3.30 (a guess)
it will be a bit under $700.

http://www.gasbuddy.com/gb_gastemperaturemap.aspx has nationwide gas prices.

The past few months I had to do several trips to northern California for my mother, the last was a few weeks ago when she passed away. I was just happy to be able to get gasoline.
