Trip to Mayon Volcano from Metro Manila on May 1, 2011 advice?

My whole family(5 people including me) and 2 other cars with different families are convoying from Manila to Bicol region on May 1, 2011.Is there anyone who would like to tell me how long the travel time is from Metro Manila (specifically Quezon City) to Legazpi City, Albay? How much is the fuel consumption? Will I pass the scenic bitukang manok road on the way there? I'm really looking forward to this since the last time my whole family has had a long road travel was 2 years ago from Manila to Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte. Now, we're planning to travel and have a vacation near Mayon Volcano. BTW, we're leaving at 1 am to avoid the harsh sun and so that by the time we got there, the day is still young and we still have time to explore the city. I really love long road rides and I hope this vacation goes well and becomes memorable. I just love the feeling you get when you pack up for vacation and set out very early in the morning (after midnight) and feel the crisp, cold and fresh provincial air when you open your windows on the way there. BTW, the SUV we're using is a 2009 ford everest so any one of you know the fuel consumption and the travel time to get there? stoppover points? comments will be appreciated =)) We're leaving after holy week cuz we're scared that thieves might trip on our house so we're leaving on may 1, 2011.
