Fuel Costs for Cars

In Sept. 2007, Popular Mechanics estimated the fuel costs to go from coast to coast using various fuels. The results for the leading contenders were:

Petrol = $212.70 ($2.34/gal - about today's price)
E85 = 425
Electricity = 60

Compressed natural gas, though not a contender for cars, cost $110. Fuel cell, which seems to have lost its glow, was exorbitant = $804.
