i had figured roughly $700-1000, depending on the hotels available and if any deals were to be found. i've heard from several long haulers that basically spent the night in their car and spent as little as $350 - all you have to do is feed yourself and feed the car. $50 per day on just food and gas is pretty tight, if you ask me. there are only so many bologna sammiches one can eat.
