OK - we could have made it to NYC this, our 7th day on the road but decided to stop at 11pm. It was raining and foggy and we took an extra amount of time going to this Pizza place off the freeway an hour or so back. So now we have approx 140 miles to Manhattan - about an hour more in PA and then an hour driving through a part of New Jersey before driving across the George Washington Bridge - the terminus of Interstate 80.
Our original goal was leaving the 10th and arriving the 18th so we're on target or a day ahead of schedule.
Total gas fill-ups including the one leaving Sacramento = 13. The most expensive was the $3.99 in Sacramento. The low was $3.42 in Wyoming with an overall average of about $3.75. Funny that seeing $3.42 we felt we were getting free gas (but of course it does look much better than the over $4 per gallon in CA). Our average mpg was around 18 which is great for such a large van.
I promise that we'll get back into stories about our travels to date and not gas prices but thought that some of you might be interested in how that all worked out.
