Overall October was cheaper than September. We drove a bunch, but spent about the same on gas (cheaper gas in the U.S. than Canada) and we didn't have the big expenses of a boat trip or ferry rides. We're still a little over what we'd like to be spending due in large part to more car issues and going out a bit too much for sporting events.
Maintenance: We had an issue with our steering that needed fixing in West Virginia, which caused us to need another alignment. We also needed a new fuel pump in Delaware.
Steering issue: $270.69
Fuel Pump: $452.75
RV running total: $19019.44
Service: $80.28 on an oil change in Kansas City
Fuel - We've updated our Fuel log! We ended up driving more in October than we did in either of the prior months due to having to make it across country for a wedding in a very short timeframe. That barely cost us more than the month before through. We purchased an extra 60 gallons or so of gas and only spent about $8 more.
This month, we drove 5081 miles on 393 gallons of gas, averaging 12.9 MPG (about the same as last month)
Gas: $1148
Propane: $28 - We needed to get propane twice this month.
Food: $724 - We did just as poorly avoiding restaurants. We spent time with friends in cities again, which leads to eating out. Football season is also still going strong and we've gone out during every game to be able to watch the Ducks play.
Lodging: $14 - We stayed at 2 campsites run by USFS ($5 each) and payed for showers near Acadia National Park.
Phone and Internet: $73. On top of our base rate of $35/month we pay per $10/GB for data through Google Fi. We didn't do a stellar job doing all the internet-ing we needed to while on public WiFi networks (Walmart, libraries, etc).
Public Transit: $20 - We spent $10 each on a transit card and money to get us in and out of the center of Washington D.C.
Total Travel Expenses for October: ~$2810
