I'm not sure the exact value of @prohibatively_expensive but ..

arie pointed out an error in the math, recalculating:

>> @hotel_nights = 7
=> 7
>> (@hotel_fee * @hotel_nights) + (@gas_buys * @tank)

This may be a stupid question, but why 6 nights of hotels? When I drove from Atlanta to (roughly) Boston, I did it in two days. So one hotel night (though technically I stayed at a relative's house and not a hotel...).

ETA: Roundtrip of 2 hotel nights -- one each way.

It's not like me not to comment my code, lol

three legs up, so two hotel stays each way
three nights in B (fri, sat, sun) in this version

is seven, not six, frak.

Thanks! :P

from IM: "Yeah, but fuck. If it's actually going to cost me nearly 1K to go up there for a weekend .. I should just give them half the money and stay home."
