how much gas will it take to drive from detroit mi to jacksonville florida?

Sometimes I can't figure where some people get there information. The shortest possible route is just under a thousand miles. The route I would drive, I-75 South to I-10 in Florida, then due East to Jacksonville is 1,073 miles of all interstate driving. Total driving time would be 18-20 hours a hard 2 days drive, but it can be done.

I would time my drive to go through Atlanta between 9 AM and Noon. Other than that it's an easy drive. I'm 66 years old & wouldn't have any problem with it.

Your fuel costs can vary depending upon you driving type and your cars mileage. At 15 miles per gallon you're looking at $215, one way if fuel is $3.00 per gallon. If you can squeeze 20 miles per gallon out of the car then you're looking at $161.

Good luck and drive safe. Drop your speed to 60 MPH and you might even save a few more dollars on fuel, but you might be looking at another night in a motel.

Detroit To Jacksonville

Detroit To Jacksonville Fl

You would need about $500. I'm in Detroit too... and have relatives and friends in FL... It would take about 2 or 3 days driving if not stopping and depending on your speed..

Have fun! Drive safe.

(after reading following posts.... ) Like I said... ABOUT $500 and ABOUT 2 or 3 days lol....

Approximately $588.40

(based on AAA's formula at 56.2 cents/mile x 1,050.71 miles according to Mapquest)

Seems a bit high... If it's just you going you may be better off just flying or going on the Amtrak or train.
