CRAW,
Try this:
Use GoogleMaps to plan your trip. Click on "get directions". When you enter your zipcode and the zipcode (81247) for Ouray, it will give you the total distance between the two places.
Divide that number by your gas mileage.
Multiply that number by the cost of gasoline per gallon.
The result is the cost for fuel (one way). Multiply by 2 to get the total cost for the trip both ways.
EXAMPLE: 904 miles divided by 19 MPG = 47.6 gallons of gas
47.6 gallons x $3.50 = $166.52 cost of gas to Ouray from my home
$116.52 x 2 = $333.05 cost of gas to and from Ouray

Thanks!
