York Pa to KC.
1099.83 miles @ 17hrs 12 minutes ==about 65 miles per hour.
My slick will only run 60 miles per hour on a long trip like that.
SO, That comes out to about 18 hours.
Now you have to add 1 hr for breakfast, 1hr for dinner, 1hr for supper, 2 hrs for stop and re-fill, (that's 6 tanks of gas @ 11 miles per gallon) approx. + another 1 hr for another breakfast.
So 24 hrs sounds more realistic.
$270.00 for gas @ $3.00 a gallon. That's $540.00 for gas round trip.
Now these numbers are just round about numbers.
Looks like I will be renting a van to split the cost w/ other Mac members.
Hope someone will be able to get a car trailer to trailer a few trucks.
Still will be fun though.

But Chuck you forgot one thing, The thumbs up from other drivers as you are cruising down the Highway in you Slick PRICELESS. When we were headed to Pa last year Truckfarmer and I had a couple in a $40,000.00 SUV hanging out the windows as they went by us giving us the thunbs up. Every place we stopped we had people looking at our Trucks and alot of Truck drivers asking us where we were headed in the CB radio.....................Kid
