Oregon to Florida? That is 6,000 miles / 6 days round trip drive at least. I'm taking it you just like to drive because after making cross-country drives I can't see how driving would be cheaper than flying unless you are sleeping in the car.
For me about 500 miles is my driving limit unless I am either in the campervan doing an extended trip or on the motorcycle. Anything farther and I'm flying there and back for a few hundred bucks. A direct 2 1/2 hour flight to Phoenix is $250 roundtrip. We were supposed to fly down last month for a fly and ride motorcycle trip last month but my mom got sick. Now we have her dog for the winter so that will limit travel until spring. $50 a night to board a dog adds up quick.

im assuming you havent looked at the prices of rental cars and must have family or friends who let you borrow their vehicles when you travel to the east coast. the cost of plane tickets and then rental cars and then the extra gas from the rental guzzlers is much more expensive than driving in an ioniq and staying in cheap motel 6s across the country. i drove to florida on 150 bucks of gas. benefits of ecomodding a hybrid lol
