$28 Tolls. Driving a Honda Civic under $100 on fuel. Anything bigger than a Ford Explorer, I'd fly instead. Seriously. Unless you're going 1 way. Taking the NJ Turnpike when you leave New York between 12:30a-3:00 is the best time. If you're not out of Maryland before 6:00a ... forget about it, you'll have to sleep at the Maryland House and wait till rush-hour is over.
Fuel up in Maryland. Make sure you have a FULL tank BEFORE getting into Virginia. If not you'll regret it. Once in North Carolina, you'll enjoy cheap gas, especially at Travel America (TA's), yes, truck stops. The showers (individual, cost $7). Once you get to S.O.B. (don't fuel up there, they charge too much). Again, the Truck Stops offer better fuel prices than those other smaller guys. And darn it ... avoid those small guys especially after 11p. Those exits often lead to 2 mile hikes and then they're closed.
Too much info here.
But Fuel up at Brunswick, Georgia when you stop at the Waffle House. The cheapest fuels are there. Full tank at Jacksonville a MUST, 1 accident during rush-hour with a 1/4 tank .. you'll be in trouble if you have an SUV and have to sit for 4 hours in a jam.

Imposible to say really as far as gas goes. Depends on the type of car, how you drive, if you stop off anywhere, traffic, the price at each station. If you know how much your car gets per gallon you could do a rough estimate by getting the exact mileage on mapquest, and figure it out that way, but that would just be a rough guess also. As far as tolls go, New Jersey has the most, and once you get past there there aren't that many at all, only a few here and there. I believe mapquest does also give an option to avoid toll roads, so you could save money that way.

There is a website where you can enter the make, model and year of your car, plus the departure and arrival locations and it will calculate how many miles you travel, how many gallons you'll use and how much you'll spend (based on the average cost of gas in certain regions of the country) for both one way trips and round trips.

You can bypass the New Jersey and Florida Turnpikes and drive toll free. Gasoline depends on what kind of car you drive.
