You're talking some 6,000 miles... fuel cost would depend on your
vehicle's gas mileage... sometimes it's less expensive to leave your
gas guzzler at home and to rent a miserly vehicle, and you won't put
all those miles on your own vehicle, plus those kind of trips are often
really hard mileage journeys... run into a bit of hail or a quickie
sand storm and you'll wish it were a rental... been there (many times),
done that (many times), I know precisely what I'm talking about.
