Planning a road trip in the near future? Cost To Drive is a web application that can help you figure out how much cash to take out of the ATM before you hit the road. Sure, you could certainly get a rough estimate by dividing the number of miles you have to drive by your car’s average mileage and then multiplying that figure by the average price of gas. But where’s the fun in that?
Cost To Drive lets you choose from a long list of vehicle makes and models dating back to 1999. Just select your vehicle from the list, plug in the locations for the begin and end of your trip, and the internet site will spit out an estimate of how much gas money you’ll burn through. The figure is obtained by looking at the mpg for your car and the average price of gas in various spots along your route.
