Sometimes the best web services are the simplest ones. Drivepricing lets you calculate the cost of gas for your road trip.With gas prices so high its nice to be able to know how much to put in the piggy bank to save up for the trips you have coming up this summer.
So when you're going to visit grandma in Albany from Philly, you can drop your gas mileage in there and get an estimated cost of what you're going to have to beg her for so you can get home.
Even if you don't know your gas mileage they have a link to FuelEconomy.gov for you. Drop your zipcode in there, start address, end address, the type of gas you use (which is a great feature) and whether its a round trip or not.
After a few seconds of loading, booya there you have it. Price per gallon and cost for trip.

It does more then simple math, it does the mapping and determines the distance and estimated price per gallon for you

DrivePricing does not seem to be working. I get the "Forbidden
