I’m planning a 2 or 3 month road trip starting in Indiana, going to Northern California, heading down the coast to LA, then going back east following the border all the way to Washington and then back to Indy.

Its going to be in my Ford Mustang – one last hoorah before college. I need to get a list of expenses and I don’t know where to go (further than I’ve gotten)

I’ve gotten gas and lodging covered. We’ll be staying with friends and family along the route (I have friends scattered throughout the country thanks to my travels with my parents). Gas is obvious.

I don’t know how much to budget for food. I do plan on eating on the cheap till we get to San Diego, there we plan on having a big reunion type dinner with my cousins and uncles out there. In Hollywood, we’ll be treating ourselves. But other than that, it’ll be on the cheap.

I know I’ll need an oil change once or twice, and maybe even new tires.

What else do I need to take into account?

Thanks
