Assuming a distance of ~450 miles (Midlothian, VA to central CT, e.g., Hartford):
Calculation:
Total estimated fuel cost: ~$67.50 one way. Round trip = ~$135.
Additional costs not included: Tolls (I-95: ~$20–35 one way via NJ Turnpike, GW Bridge, etc.), parking, meals, wear-and-tear (IRS rate $0.67/mi = ~$300 round trip). Actual distance varies by exact CT destination (Greenwich ~380 mi, Stonington ~500 mi).
