Default Sorta nifty fuel cost tool

drive pricing - gas cost and trip calculator

Summary: Uses Google maps to calculate trip mileage, locates current gas prices for your chosen zip code, and factors in your specified fuel economy.

Problem: Gas prices aren't the same across the country, and it fails to account for that. I actually expected it to use gas prices from along the route, but that was before I noticed the zip code box.

Conclusion: Someone's college project. Not too shabby.
