Ok we are going to be going down to Flordia the end of Feb. and we can't decide what car to drive down there. We have the land rover discovery with the 2 jump seat in the back, so that we could spread the kids out a little more and give them all some room, and then we would need to most likely get a storage bag for the roof rack for a few of the items, it had a roof dvd player but it's broke we are taking it in next week to see how much and if it can be fixed... if i put ds in the jump seat then the girls out board in the middle they would all have cup holders, and space for stuff on the seats next to them... the gas milage is 16 miles to a gallon high way, and maybe 10 miles to a gallon town miles... NOT good according to AAA website gas calulator it would be $280 round trip (not including gas/driving while we are there 7 days) ...
the other car is our dodge intrepid... so we would have to put the three kids across the back, i'm positive we could fit all our stuff in the trunk b/c its a HUGE trunk, but the kids wouldn't have cup holders, their toys and stuff would need to be on the floor boards w/ me handing it to them... We are thinking of maybe getting a dvd player that hooks to the back of the seats, we had one like this and i worked well on the last trip (sept '05) but it has since broke and can't be fixed... on to the gas milage, according to the same website is 27 miles to a gallon high way and maybe 25 in town... total round trip would be $165.00.
So any one have any thing i haven't though of to add in??? I just can't decide, dh says he doesn't car either way really, he'll be the only one driving, since i don't like to drive with him as a passanger driver, he has always driven to FL in all our 7 trips... LOL
