VA=181 miles; NC=181miles; SC=201 GA=112 miles FL to Orlando=155 He suggests 95 to I4. There's another way branching out of GA, too. Most of FL is now 3 lane. Oh and Dad just offered extra car carriers but I figure you're covered.
1) best gas prices on your way out - fill up at 2A in New Jersey, just before the Delaware Memorial Bridge.
2) If you want to skip the evil stupid toll, right after the Delaware Memorial Bridge go west at exit 3 to Delaware 4. (Big shoprite about 2 miles south - sales tax free) take 4S to MD 896 (dbl check the #) - there's a big Chrysler assmebly plant on the right; at bottom of hill take left. 2 miles East on 896 back to 95. (also cheap liquor store on that corner in Delaware)
3) Racetrack, at Mile Marker 126A in VA (Fredricsburg) is some of the cheapest gas, 1/4 mile south of the exit; there's also a cheap station almost at the border with NC at Exit 8.
4) SC has truck stop at mile 181 and 170. stuff is cheap until mile 164.
There are a lot of motels at mile marker 164 but that's only 7 hours into your trip.
Hardesville (exit 5/ mile 5 in SC) has all manner of cheap hotels. You'll see heavy advertising by mile 98 and below. (Such as $29 single/$33 double, but Hardesville also has restaurnats.)
5) Truckstop at mile 14 of Georgia has cheapest gas of the whole trip. Miss that there's also cheapish at mile 6 and 3.
Enter FL with full tank.
Also a ton of hotels by Savannah. Rte 16 Modest hotels at any big exit.
Oh, and Dad buys diesel so his gas prices might be slightly off but they tend to trend the same.
