Thats a long ride. You would most likely save money by flying if it's just you. Your talking around 2800 miles. I've driven it a few times. The only time it was ever cheaper then flying was on my motorcycle, and it was only about $50 cheaper. I drove to see the country though. It takes 3 days to make the drive, each way and thats pushing it. If you really plan on driving that much I would recommend getting either a Sonic, or Cruz ECO with the 1.4L turbo engine. they are decent cars and the sonic runs about $18K new and you can get close to 40mpg running on the highway. The long of a trip will kill you in gas even in the V6 Camaro. Especially on a college budget.
