Well, for all you numbers freaks, here are some numbers from RT3.
We were gone for 65 days, leaving August 27 and getting back on October 31. We drove, according to our odometer, 10,527 miles. We traveled through 35 states. We even stopped in some of them! We crossed state lines 46 times.
We got as far north as Canada, just north of the Vermont line and as far east as Acadia National Park in Maine.
We consumed around 860 gallons of gas averaging about 12.2 miles per gallon and an average of $1.52 per gallon. We use mid-grade gas almost all the time. Don’t ask me why. The cheapest gas was near Scranton, PA, on Sept 27th and near Freehold, NJ, on October 3rd, both at $1.399/gallon. Most expensive? Brewster, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod at $1.699/gallon on October 8th.
We slept in the van 29 nights, we stayed with friends and relatives 14 nights and we stayed in motels or hotels on 20 nights. Hotel/motel stays included five nights in Williamsburg, VA, for a Hill family gathering, three nights in Worthington, MN, to visit with Lorri’s family and two nights near West Chester, PA, for a family wedding.
