Calculate gas for a trip

Posted by Glenn Yoder, Lifestyle producer October 7, 2008 11:59 AM

Over on the Travel blog, The Globe's Paul Makishima gives a helpful tip for fuel-efficient trip-planning.

Say, you're planning a drive to P-town this weekend and you live in JP. You go to the site; enter your starting point and destination, the year of your car, along with make and model. Cost2Drive uses your car's MPG, gleaned from the EPA. They then grab the average price of gas in your area from Oil Price Information Service, and bang it all up against and the distance, which comes via Google map technology, to "galculate" your cost.

Check out Cost2Drive.
