I have to get back to school and I need to pay for all the gas. Can somebody help me figure out how much gas will cost to get from Sterling, MA (about 40 minutes west of Boston) to Steubenville, OH (about 40 minutes west of Pittsburgh)? I'm driving a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe if that helps. I dont know if there are tolls along the way either. Thanks for the help!!

It's almost 600 miles. Since your SUV will probably be stuffed with back to school stuff, it's unlikely you're going to get the 23 mpg advertised. Plan on more like 18, since you'll be going faster than 55 as well. That means you'll use about 35 gallons of gasoline during your trip. Expect to pay about 95-100 dollars for gasoline on your trip. This means starting with a full tank and showing up at school just about empty.
According to Gasbuddy.com, gas in the Worcester area is about 2.60/gallon today (monday, 8/20). It's about the same all the way across PA. Avoid I-90, it has tolls and NY gas prices are much higher, plus it's WAY out of your way.

If you take I-84 to I-380 to I-81 to I-80 to I-99 to US 22 - there is no toll. The distance is 590 miles so you need to ask someone for $80 or work some extra hours.

Total distance per Map Quest 590.08 miles
Hyundai Santa Fe per web site average: 23mpg
So 590.08 miles / 23 miles per gallon = 25.6 gallons needed
25.6 gallons * $2.70/gallon (estimated) = $69.12 (Approximate cost) + additional toll road costs, Tolls exist on 90W, and 84W (again per mapquest)
What school are your going to that they can't teach students how to do simple math problems?
