Overall, I'm not impressed with Cost2Drive. They don't even have any cars built before 1999. I drive a '97 Civic. The interface is clunky, and it's really a pretty simple calculation to do. What are they really offering?

I guess for short/medium trips this is cool and all. but one thing this dosent factor in the cost of your time.

example, i live in michigan and am going to florida in two weeks. I could drive and save myself some money both ways, not much, but take 2 days and a hotel to get down there, which by the way makes it cheaper to fly already. or i could take 4 more total days in florida by flying.

for your trip, i am assuming that is the screen shot you have posted in the article, that makes sense. i sorta wonder why you didnt just drive in the first place given the distance........

One thing i see missing though, is ok, that was the cost to get to LA. but the driving you did around town with the rental car is not added in yet, which is what caused you to look up something like this in the first place, not to mention the cost of driving back. it would still be cheaper for you to drive more than likely, but again time is a factor for some.

neat tool, but if you have a calculator you can do it pretty quickly as well.
