We have the luxury of driver, a navigator and internet access underway. But for those of you that don't and aren't well versed in working the fuel management in Street Atlas, there is something new from GasBuddy.

http://www.gasbuddy.com/Trip_Calculator.aspx

Load the start, finish and fuel rates (it won't let you select a 1977 Eleganza as a vehicle), and it will pick your stops for fuel and tell you what to expect fuel to cost.

Neat HuH?
What Next?

That is cool, but it would be nice if it would let you pick the route

If you add a destination midway, you can at least bias the result.

Oh good idea, I didn't notice you could add multiple destinations
