Whet the hey Ya waitin' on???

Visiting In Laws,....now that's another story!!!LOL
Good math, but allow me to correct for an 01 Chevy 1/2 ton with a 5.3l V8

8hrs @ 60mph = 480 mi Divide by 13mpg (maybe a little less with load )

Looks like about 37 gal of gas @ $3.40 = $125.xx. Stinking gas guzzler

Point is, if you're going to go for it, go big or go home!!
