It's 743 miles away Let's say we get a car with 24 MPG highway (I'd rather look for something around 32, like a Cobalt, but this is estimated). One gallon of gas is $2.86 at the Amoco BP right next to me.
743/24= 30.958
30.958*2.86=$88.54 in gas.
A Cobalt would be about $66... Which I'd like a lot more. Plus renting the car for a day, or whatever. Anyway, I think I worked that out right... I suck at math.
Also, 12 hours does seem like a lot. I was talking to Tipman yesterday... I told him it was a 12 hour drive for me, and I might not make it. Tipman responded with "Well, it's a 32 hour drive for me." Also, there's even a guy from Sweden who is attending a tournament in Chicago around that time, who is then traveling to MD for Bomb4. Anyway, it looks like it's going to be an awesome tournament.

I've done a bit of advanced math for you guys:

I don't know how much it is to rent a car for two days, so no I didn't add it in. If you guys want to look it up, be my guest.
