So, for a 3-day stay, I'd spend $100 for a red-eye round-trip, or $280 for a day trip. Or I could take a bus, red-eye, for much less. Flying would be over $300.

If I drive, I doubt I'll find cheap all-day parking in the city. So I expect that to cost over $100 for 3 days, plus gas (2 full tanks).
I take the commuter bus to get in to DC, and then take a Chinatown bus to NY. My total cost is $45, and I can work on the Chinatown bus (almost all have Wifi).

This system may be cheap, but it requires at least a 1 night stay so I can come back at the right time to catch the commuter bus home.
