I'm Heading to national lets have a fun little Contest

Well I'm not going to let the gas prices keep me from national. Plus I'm already itchin to go even though its a few weeks away So I thought this would be a fun little contest to pass the time. Guess How much I will spend on gas to get to national. The three closest I 'll send some of the free goodie stuff I get at the convention.

Heres the variables. I'm driving from New Orleans to Nashville to visit family then from nashville to detroit to pick up 2 buddies. Then were off to chicago for the convention.
We will be driving a 2008 dodge grandcaravan.


SO lets make three categories.
Make your guess based on one way trip and so it dont get too crazy one guess per person.

1)How much will the total gas bill be .

2)How Many Gallons of Gas will we use.

3)What will the average gallon of gas be for ther trip

The three closest in each category I'll send some goodies
Lets have a little fun.

  • total cost: enough to make you chew your 1989 Griffey, but not so high as to chew your 1952 Mantle. (i.e. an arm and a leg)

    gallons of gas: 4 kegs worth plus a beef burrito

    avergage cost per gallon: more than Budwiser - less than Guiness - about the cost of RED STRIPE ... hooray beer !


    Have fun !
