Thanks for the math. We're planning a trip from Oklahoma City to Santa Fe and back in late summer, and that does help put potential costs in perspective. Gas is $2.67 here as of yesterday, and I'm not looking forward to what it might be in August, especially since prices escalate going west. Just for general info, the last gas I bought when I left Austin, Texas in 1974 was 25 cents per gallon. I was driving a 350 c.i. GMC van with a four-barrel. Imagine the lousy mileage. Still, travel north-east wasn't all that expensive. A year later it hit $1.75 or higher. History does repeat itself. Jack Jordan '85 Westy
