Answer 2

Courtesy of Mapquest I found that the total distance for you is 2550 miles, and that it will take you 36 driving hours. Assuming you are ok driving eight hours a day, that is about five days. Assuming your daily expenses for food and drink come to about $40, that's $200 right there.

You didn't say what kind of vehicle you have, so I've divided these calculations into three options:
BIG truck or RV at 10 mpg = 255 gallons = $800
Average car or SUV at 20 mpg = 128 gal = $400
Fuel efficient car or small car, 30 mpg, = $300

so between $500 and $1000 depending on what vehicle you have.

God bless & drive safe. Sorry for your family's loss.

Answer 3

What mileage does your car get? Do you have AAA just in case?
I mapped your route on Ask.com.
Distance: 2512.3 miles
Estimated time: 36 hr. 55 min.
If you spend 9 hours a day driving, you will have to stop at 3 hotels.
That is additional cost, you are going to eat somewhere.
Also, airlines have cheaper fares for last minute travel for funerals.
Contact the airline directly.

Answer 4

If you have microsoft streets and trips software on your computer you can type in the average cost of gas and your average mpg. and it will give you a pretty good ballpark figure of the cost in gas.

Answer 5

Well it really depends on how many miles per gallon your vehicle gets.
