Just for the record:
The trip we took to New Orleans and around other places was 47239 miles, it cost us just over three thousand dollars for gas!!!!!!
BTW- Our total expenses for the trip were around 7 grand, half went to gas, the other half went for lodging, food, shopping.
Am I willing to drive far again, uh not for a LONG time!
I will tell you our 2007 Toyota Sienna minivan handled the trip without a single problem! I stand behind Toyota cars 100%, they are the least likely to have any problems.
