How much would it cost for me to drive to LA? I get about 25-30MPG on my ****box. I really just want to move once I graduate.

**Jinjiro** · May 6th, 11:47 AM

It's approximately 3000 miles from Boston to LA.

If you figure you'll get 25MPG the whole way (probably more/less at times), that's 120 gallons of gas you'll go through.

I'm not sure the price of gas in Boston or LA, but it's definitely cheaper in between the two cities, so figure $3.00 a gallon average.

It'd be around $360.

I don't know about that average.. It's 3.19 in wisconsin. I know you aren't going to be driving through here.. just saying.

**OhRLY** · May 6th, 12:26 PM

$3.89 here in Cali.

**big_balla** · May 6th, 12:29 PM

Ouch.

**Jinjiro** · May 6th, 12:58 PM

Ok, well then say it's $4.00 a gallon average, which is well over but whatever. Then it'd be around $480. So figure $500 for gas and you'll have money left over.

You're *****ing about trying to live out in Boston, LA is much more expensive to live out there.

***DarkTamer*** · May 6th, 01:33 PM

Gas is about 2.70-2.90 here in MA.

**XtremeAaron** · May 6th, 02:38 PM

add another $500 for when the car breaks something, which i almost guarantee it will.

Yeah but he lives with his parents right now. If he moves out to LA, he'll be living on his own.

Just some food for thought.

**big_balla** · May 6th, 08:20 PM

And those are the prices now.. who says they'll be the same in a month?

I think he pretty much supports himself right now.. I'm not positive though.

**** you, who was *****ing about boston? My dad lives in cali and I want to visit for the summer, but I want my car.

Let me tell you about assumptions, it makes an ass out of... basically you.

**mLuH** · May 7th, 03:15 PM

man, gas is 3.39 here, luckily since my car dies if I drive over ~50mph, I never drive anywhere but work, which is .6 miles away, or around town. I usually fill my tank to half, and only fill up once a month.

**DaBluedevil** · May 7th, 07:08 PM

Now that college is gonna be over, I'll be great on gas, considerin I get an average of like 36.

If your gonna go cross country, you gonna go 80? I would, its easiest to take 95 down to ny and just hop on 80 and book it. I'd get a radar detector before I went if I were you, could save your ass.

***Barber*** · May 7th, 07:40 PM

Gas is a bit over $3 here in Indiana, which usually has semi-cheap gas.

**Tomba** · May 7th, 08:46 PM

Here in Ohio its $3.19. When I played in PA yesterday it was $2.83 at some places.

Save yourself the money and just leap frog with the semis. They're the best radar detectors out there

If they slow down, you slow down. They do 90, you do 90. They're going to get pulled over for speeding before you since their fines are heftier. Besides, no one will notice you tucked in the middle of a convoy. Your mileage will probably jump as well.

figure out how big your gas tank is, and muliply by your freeway mileage and you'll hav
