In
this simple calculation the fixed price of gas is set quite
high. Gas was most expensive in California and the bordering
states where we paid between 1.10 and 1.20 per gallon. The
price was considerably lower in the eastern part of the
country.
The price of lodging varied a lot. The motel Las Vegas was
one of the cheapest places we encountered. The room cost
less than 30 bucks - and that even included breakfast! Some
of the pricier places were located in the middle of nowhere.
The amount spent on food fluctuated from day to day. Some
days we ate at restaurants, other days we lived solely on
fast food.
