6,827 mi between cities only


Other info: 3 guys in an accord- we're going to travel light. budget is not too small, but we're still college students. Don't mind camping obviously. There are a couple extra days, where do you think we should spend more time?

I would say at least 2 days for San Antonio and Austin. They're close by and they are both great cities.

Assuming they get around 30 mpg they'll spend about a grand on gas.
