I am guesstimating it will be about twenty dollars in gas each way if your car gets thirty miles to the gallon.
Why Springfield? If you are going to fly Allegiant, check out their schedule from Des Moines as it is only another thirty miles compared to the distance from Kansas City to Springfield.
But if you do drive out of town to catch the flight, remember you will have to drive back so you need to take into consideration what time your flight back arrives. If it is too late in the day, you will have the cost of a room to stay the night to consider.
Also, what time would you have to leave to make the drive and what happens if you run into traffic?
These are all questions I asked myself and why I decided against using Allegiant and I'm from KC, too.
