Its about 400 miles each way for me, figuring my car gets 15mpg @ 4 bucks a gal (we shall see) plug cruising and beating the car, I will be burning though about $250 in fuel.

I know I'm not the farthest one driving this year, but is the gas price going to be changing how you drive or what you bring. I may leave the camaro home this year and take the non-gm daily driver that gets 38mpg highway.

O for an LSx/t56 swap

We're driving. 600+ miles each way in the suburban. with the trailer probably. 17MPG. not too bad hauling 5 folks and associated support gear.

I'm not nearly as far as you are, Jeff. But I am planning on driving the 72 to Pittsburgh in July for the Tom Henry show and the Cruise to Mars. And if she's done in time, I'll be driving her down to Ocean City for their Cruisin' OC weekend in May. I bought her to drive her - and nothing I own is a fuel sipper, anyway.

Im still planning on driving up. but the closer it gets to carlisle the more i gringe at gas prices. Not sure what kind of gas milage im going to get with new rear end going from 700r4 with 411 to a 342 gear. 850 miles each way for me.

I have a 700r4 sitting in the garage, this might be the excuse I need to put the damn thing in

I'll be trailering to Mikeys (K5JMP) house, and driving from there, he's sayin it's a couple hour drive. I hafta get my suspension werked on, the car will be packed.

I plan on driving the 77

161 miles one way from my doorstep... I'm drivin'

About 118 miles each way here. I'm driving. Got 23mpg average on the trip last year, can't complain.

I'm not stressing the gas $$$.. When I drove my car home from Preston,CT to Staten Island,NY, I only used 1/2 tank of gas..

According to mapquest, it was 160 miles..
MQ says Carlisle is 177 miles.. I figure it will cost me like $100-120 roundtrip with tolls, + food..

I'll be driving the monte towing a uhaul this year. That is unless something changes with the van (new tranny). Either way it takes a tank to get down there and 3/4 to get back.

Ps never buy gas in CT if you can help it.

Job is clear, so reg is now paid. Woot!

We will be driving two cars only this year and we will be camping too!Haven't missed Carlisle since it started.

Todd,found this funny,you have 10 less miles to drive than I do and I live in PA!

Will be driving from Long Island and who cares how much it costs. Driving with the window open and no wife or kids what could be better

That overdrive gear in that 700R4 is looking better everyday!!:bowtie:

Yikes diesel prices are horrid, I was looking at upgradeing to a diesel, and maybe trying biodiesel, but am unsure now what to do

yeah I know Tommy... was just bustin' yer hump...
High fuel costs are the reason I got the IROC... much cheaper to feed than my truck:screwup:

We're pullin the maro up with a diesel...:whine:

Damn the torpedoes...

We're pullin the maro up with a diesel...:whine:

It may be cheaper to pull the diesel with the camaro;) I gassed up the camaro the other day.... 63 bucks....yikes

I have the 80z signed (Driver class) up planning on driving it. not sure of gas milage on it yet. if i remeber corectly 900+mile trip one way

I do have a question. If i drive my 92 camaro up do i need to register it also?

About 118 miles each way here. I'm driving. Got 23mpg average on the trip last year, can't complain.
About 215 miles here, and 19mpg. Maybe I'll lean the carb out a little for the ride down and back. haha

Tommy you SOB! I never got a ride in Whitetrash.

I might be towing the Z out this year if my friend doesnt bring his pro street monte carlo........

I'm deffinately trailoring the Z out this year! My friends pro street monte isn't going to be ready...

I'm drivin' the "Z" 562 mi from Ontario Canada...according to Google it'll take 9 1/2 hours. Wife asked me how much it was going to cost me for gas, I hummed and hawwed, and then said "never mind...use the credit card and I'll square it away when you get back". What a sweetheart!

Kirk has to drive an extra 3 1/2 to 4 hours to my place before we head out together.

Jeff, I added the google link to my previous message to show everyone my route. I travelled that route down to Chambersburg PA a little further south on business this past year and it was a 10 hour trip.

10 hrs for us to. 630 miles each way. I'm gettin 28-29 mpg in the Tribute with air blowin doin 75 mph and loaded....:p

i am flying to save on fuel costs but i ended up flying to georgia and meet up with stokkeland so i still have fuel costs. lol lol lol lol :confused: :confused: :confused: makes no sense at all. but his truck does get good mileage pulling the car. woot woot for that however i bet it would get better mileage without a hood in the bed ;)
