My little story about the cruise.

I would like to thank our event hosts for supporting and feeding us! My thanks go out to the following:

• Art Thraen for the Salt Lake City BBQ and leading this motley crew
• Lance Emerson for being a water-pumper yet realizing the importance of the cruise and getting into the spirit, for the BBQ at his business BEST, and being the only man with the cajones to touch my AutoTaser as it's firing (Who's your Jedi-Master?!)
• Top Dead Center, Al Bugs Me, Sewfine, Jerry Roth Volkswagen, Rocky Mountain Motor Works and the VW Enthusiasts of Colorado
• Jim and Brad for sharing their cigars with Brian and I
• Deena, Julie and Courtney -- for putting up with all us guys and staying in great spirits!
• The Berg family for attending the event and putting up with all us nuts
• My little buddy, Johnny, for without him I think that cop would've pulled me over
• Brian's wife, Shannon, for letting Brian come out and play

  Total Miles Traveled: 3081.6 miles
  Total Gallons of Gas: 124.4 gallons
  
  Results computed from table and not from above totals:
  Average Mileage: 24.1 mpg
  StdDev: 2.7 mpg
  
  *Mileage is corrected for odometer offset due to smaller tires as follows:
  Miles traveled - ((Miles traveled / 5) * .2)) / gallons of fuel
  My odometer gains 0.2 mile for every 5 miles traveled so these extra miles must be removed to get a true indicator.
