@yahoofinance: The "optimal" U.S. road trip is back, and the gas budget is about $1,000 higher than it was when Randal Olson created the original map in 2015. His new site maps out the fastest route to the top landmark in every lower-48 state and D.C. It adds up to 49 stops, nearly 14,000 miles and about 224 hours behind the wheel. At today’s $4.29 national average, gas alone would run about $2,350. That excludes hotels, food and ferries. #roadtrip #randalolson #gasprices #yahoofinance
