I agree that all those places are options. I need some convincing that they are better options than San Francisco. Your gas cost and mileage are about what I used

I used $4 for California. But nobody in Orlando is saying "3.89 what a deal".[1] California's high gas prices exacerbate the problem of distance. In the east $100 provides more range in addition to go along with more options. Even $2.00/gallon wouldn't get you across the all deserts and mountains between SF and Denver. It wouldn't even get you to El Paso where there's nearly 1000 miles of Texas still left.
