Well, I drove from Vancouver to Los Angeles in 2 days once upon a time,
so that's certainly do-able. It was two days solid driving, no breaks,
and I got into LA around 8:00pm (to discover all the Youth Hostels were
full to overflowing :-( ). This was 16 years ago, in a car that was 23
years old at the time, cruising at a comfortable 80mph (until an
unfortunate incident with the California Highway Patrol). It's quite
possible I took the I5 rather that US101, which would have been a bit
quicker, to be honest I can't remember.
I camped the night I was half-way, had no problem finding a campsite,
hadn't organised or located one in advance, but maybe I just got lucky!
I was young and carefree and just took life as it was thrown at me at
the time :-)
At the time I think I paid no more than $1.50/gall (once I got out of
Canada!), but prices may have risen a little since then.
I love long road trips (not that they are really possible in the UK,
nothing is that far away), they journey is often as good as the
destination, as long as you are under no time pressure.
