Cost analysis of Miles Per Dollar =
Miles traveled / Total $$ spent on fill up

(My car based on a Full to 1/4 tank avg use / occasional WOT)
i.e.: 220 / $3.70/Gallon *10 Gallons = 220 (22mpg) / 37.00 = 5.95 Miles Per Dollar

~SIX MILES per dollar,.... based on that my round trip DAILY for work is:
50 MILES / 5.95 = ~$8.40 / day JUST TO GO TO WORK and BACK HOME.

That's right FIFTY miles round trip DAILY, I know i need to move just based on this cost analysis,...

Anyway, just some cost analysis on the cruise / route idea. (sorry numbers crunching has been consuming me a LOT lately)

I think someone needs a "nap."

Haha, every time I've been up there, I've ALWAYS seen Diego drive by. Seriously, like the last 3 times in a row!

HAHAHA, I usually take my baby out for a run to get the Sunday paper 'bout lunch time. The jaunt to the Texaco for the paper is too short, so I usually take her out to Laie or to Hauula if my wife needs something from Tamura's. I totally agree about the lot by the Texaco shrimp truck. It is a paved lot compared to Giovanni's dirt lot and they are marked stalls, so perfect for photo-ops.

well it looks like we got more than a handful willing to go on a cruise......the next thing is picking a good day to do it. I was looking at a sunday since some here have express concerns about working other days. well let me know how a sunday sounds. from there I will look at picking a few dates sometime in April and post another poll and I will go with the majority based on that poll for the cruise date.

sound good???

So as not to exclude the Scoobie autocross junkies, April 13th is our last autocross before the hiatus...no events in May and June. So other than that day, I'm game.
