    was on the road the whole month of August in heavily loaded Prius. Florida to Maine, lots of side trips, lots of stop-and-go around DC and NYC and some wide open spaces--well, not much in the NE and hell on 95.

    Trip stats

    27 days of travel, 26 nights away from home

    12 delightful and generous hosts, 1 hotel

    Total cost of gas: $283.11 (includes ½ tank before trip, ½ tank after trip)

    Total mileage on trip 4001.6

    Average gas price per gallon = $2.913

    Highest gas price = $3.359 in Darien, CT

    Lowest gas price = $2.49 in Spartanburg, SC

    Average miles per gallon for trip = 48.9 with nitrogen in tires

    Worst tank = 32.68 mpg (subject to how much gas can be put in tank)

    Best tank = 65 mpg (ditto)
