Interesting one! Seems like it would take about 2-3 tanks of gas as well, plus parking. But it's about $159 cheaper than the cheapest flight from YYC.

But for 2 people, they'd probably end up saving about $100 each. Minus their time each way. And the meals they need to eat on the way there and back. And the estimated car depreciation of $120. I kid, I kid. Sort of. Some people think factoring in car depreciation might be anal/ridiculous, but really, if you pay $20,000 for a car and get 200,000km out of it, you're essentially paying 10 cents/km to drive it over the cars lifetime.
