Made trip in 22 hours including a 4-hour stop to get a little sleep. And yes, I was moving along so only averaged around 13 MPG. Normally I get closer to 15 MPG at ~70 MPH.
When you have the need to just jump in and go, it’s when I appreciate the value of a small van the most. Yeah, it’s no where near a house on wheels (more like a metal tent you can sleep in), but serving as a second car and always at the ready can be priceless sometimes.
MPG (or cost of gas) isn’t always that significant to me. With today’s cheap gas I spent under $200, and even had it cost $300 for a much larger camper, I would have not made the trip as quickly. This time speed was more important.
I normally would have flown commercial, but driving seemed safer.
