You'll need to find out what sort of gas mileage your car gets. Gas prices have been very volatile lately, but you'll likely find Maryland prices to be fairly typical of the average you'll pay elsewhere. (Gas will be higher in the far west, but cheaper on the way there.) You need to divide 7,000 miles by your gas mileage to find the number of gallons you'll need and multiply by the price. It will be very different depending on whether you're driving a small car or an SUV. Camping will cost $10 to $20 a night, depending on the type of campground you choose. As for food, you'll need to figure out what and how much you plan to eat and plan accordingly. In most cases, you're likely to find food slightly cheaper on your journey than it is in the East. If you want to "see the sights", you'll also need to consider admission fees. National parks can run $10 - $20 per car, while privately run attractions can be the same price per person. You'd do well to look up the things you want to see online to find out their prices. You will, of course, also want to budget money for souvenirs and "extras".
