Obviously the car that started this insanity is the most important piece of equipment.  Toyota should definitely get on-board with sponsoring this trip.

MapQuest is currently estimating the fuel costs at around $800.  That’s more than the original $600 budget, but San Francisco and Seattle were worthy additions to the trip, so I’m okay with that.  I plan on using AAA’s report to locate cheaper gas, so hope to come in under that estimate.

Over the course of this trip, we’ll be looking at the Prius’ performance, long-term comfort, and the ability of the electrical system to handle the other tech we’ll be using.
