Roadtrips

The USA is such a vast place, but when thinking about road trips it's best to take into account can you only do 1 day trips?...lf that's all you can do then set your maximum daily mileage, work out how long you have to spend at the sightseeing venue, & how long it takes to get home.
I worked out that l could get from the furthest NW part of the USA to the tip of the most southerly point of the USA  (Bellingham WA to Key West FL) for $100 gas/petrol money on my motorcycle............but, the quickest l could do it in if l did 500mls a day is 7 days, so l also need 7 nights accomodation, which if l used www.airbnb.com for overnight stays would be $25 a night, so that's almost another $200 on top, & eating cheaply at say McD's or getting supermarket food would be another $10 a day, so erring on the high side l could do it for $400 if l really stuck to a budget.
What l'm trying to say is, whether it's a day trip or a week long road trip, pre-planning is needed so that unexpected expenses don't ruin it, & Google will tell you all you need to know about any area or City in the World, let alone just the USA.......Happy Trips!!!
