To calculate the number of gallons needed for the road trip, you divide the total distance by the average miles per gallon: 2000 miles / 8 miles per gallon = 250 gallons.
To calculate the total fuel cost, you multiply the number of gallons by the cost per gallon: 250 gallons * $3.50 per gallon = $<<250*3.50=875>>875. Answer: \boxed{875}.
