i know there is some interest in this show as well, decided it would be a good time to post up and see how many people were interested as it will be time to book a hotel soon as they fill up pretty fast.
show is in carlisle PA, and judging by mapquest the trip is 7 hours 50 mins roughly, however i bet the trip can be done in 7 or less as i always beat mapquest LOL. total driving distance is 371 miles if shortest route is taken and judging on an average of 400km's to the tank it can be done in 3 tanks of gas.
i just went to travel lodge's site to get a price on a room from thursday night to sunday morning and total price came up as 392$ including taxes. split that between 2 members and their significant other if applicable and your looking at 100$ with 2 double beds.
to give a rough calculation on costs...
lodging: 392.37$ total, 4 people
gas: 120$/car MAX
food: <200$ /person
looking at it from a person with significant other, sharing a room aswell with another couple
total: ~360$ /person
looking at it as a single person sharing a room
~520$ /person
these are all rough, and guaranteed not to spend this much however its always good to plan a higher amount.
***lets get the ball rolling and figure it all out because most of the hotels i checked, have already been booked up!!***

actually once you get into your 2nd or 3rd filling for your car you'll get better gas mileage as american gas is a little better then here. it's how I was able to hit over 650kms on a tank driving down to louisiana a few years back with a fully loaded car.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

I'm interested, and would like to cut my own costs even more if possible by being a 5th person in a room and sleeping on a floor.
also hotel rooms are cheaper if you don't book as many guests. What's the price on 2 queens for 2 people?
