No Idea How Much to Budget for Gas

[EvangelineG]

Just going over our budget for our upcoming trip and realizing I've forgotten to budget for gas! We'll be renting a mid size vehicle, and driving:
-from MCO to WDW area and back
-back and forth between Sunset Lakes & WDW parks for 6 days
-over to Universal twice
-to Kennedy Space Center once
-possibly doing a Gulf of Mexico beach day as well (possibly Clearwater, or maybe even a little farther south?)

Any advice about how much to put aside for gas and/or tolls would be much appreciated. Thanks.

That's a pretty ambitious itinerary have fun.
My best guess would be you'll go thru a tank and a half of gas, so budget about a $100.

I agree on $100. I don't think you'll use more than two tanks of gas and $100 should cover that.

Thanks so much! I'll add it to the budget.

And yes, it is a pretty ambitious plan, but it's a once in a lifetime trip for us and my sons want to do EVERYTHING. We'll see how we actually do when we get there.

There are quite a few tolls in between WDW and Kennedy. I'd look into getting a toll pass if you can.
