I want to know where she lives, that gas and motels are that expensive. Two tanks of gas equals $210? Two nights in a motel equals $210? Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.
I searched around for motels in her area and all of the results were in the $100 a night range. From what I can gather, Kitsap County is on some kind of peninsula a stone's throw from Seattle so it's entirely possible that accommodation is just really expensive there.
