Planning Your Trip Budget

Fuel is often the largest variable expense on long road trips.
  • Consider highway vs city mileage for better accuracy.
  • Plan refueling stops in areas with lower fuel prices.
  • Vehicle weight (passengers and luggage) also affects efficiency.

Budgeting early prevents financial stress during your travels.
