You need the check out The Teaching Company. I've gone through a a number of their courses on CD, and they've all been superb. I just recently finished their World War II course, and I'm currently doing the Foundations of Western Civilization. Given you're question, you'd probably want to look at their Science & Math offerings. I did the Joy of Science course last year as a refresher for all that stuff I'd forgotten since high school and college, which sounds kind of like what you're looking for. (I've no affiliation with The Teaching Company other than being a satisfied customer.)

I'd recomment the teaching company. They aren't really online, you'd be ordering tapes or CDs for the car but they are an excellent value (about $2 / hr). They have enough science for any cross country trip but the focus in on the social sciences.

Change and Motion: Calculus Made Clear. Prof. Starbird is an exceptional instructor who illustrates insights into calculus using layman's terms. I took three calculus related courses during the course of high school and college, yet found these six tapes to be incredibly enlightening.

Be sure to buy them when they're on sale! They're $54.95 today (2 Jul 02) but retail for as high as $199.95, I believe.

Enjoy,
