this is starting to irritate me

[Kejtar]

At this point I"m looking at about $400 for gas just to get there and come back (figuring it's not going to go past $3.10 per gallon). That is cutting into serious jeep building funds and beer money!

[DrMoab]

Yeah....Im wondering how I am going to afford the drive and I am less then half the distance you are.

well... just cause you're so close you're buying the beer!

[Goatman]

Hey, quit yer bitchin'. Have you seen the price of diesel lately? I get 10 mpg hauling the Lance and towing the Jeep......that's $500 just getting there and back, plus gas for running trails.

But, this is vacation time, so who's counting! :D

That won't work! It's Utah beer. I was depending on you to bring the good beer! :D

Yea!
I figure with Fuel at $3.10 a gallon it will cost $450.00 each way!
I will be there with some Good beer for you Ketchup,
How about some New Glarus Spotted Cow, or Carlyle Brewing Co. Vanilla, or Huber Beer.
Did I bring you Berghoff or Linies last year?

I remember primarily scott free and some october fest stuff. Oh well, I'll be bringing some good beer too: Worst comes to worst, I'll pour it into the tank and see how far I get on it :D

It might be cheaper that way! Anybody know how many MPG to a gallon of beer? I allways forgetg to write it down after the first three!

I plan to strap the beer goggles to my headlights. Then my truck won't remember how far the drive is, or that it even went anywhere.:cheers:

ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch

[rockwerks]

If all goes well I will be driving the ladies 96 xj (with new motor) and towing the MJ. Should take me about 4 tanks round trip plus 1 for playing. so around 200.00 total for fuel......and I can remember a bunch of us standing around in JV bitching about speding 60 whole dollars to fill the motorhomes!

you're planning to tow the mj with an xj? now that just sounds scary

[rockwerks]

you're planning to tow the mj with an xj? now that just sounds scary

why? IVe towed over 12 XJ's all around the country with my MJ's...4 cyl yet! mostly on tow dollies. distances much farther than the 320 Im gonna do this time. maybe Ill bring the 400.00 MJ to tow it with instead...LOL

Your confusing me with Farmer Matt thats a deer not a Rabbit. Rabbits like hops,grains,veggies and fruit which are the precursor for GOOD BEERS! If your making some sort of reference to anything german automotive related then maybe you should check out the thread mike r. started for my take on that. I dont even acknowledge the fact that they made/make something on wheels. :us: About the "tent" incident, I sleep with a gun and I am a 3rd degree black belt. I dont think you heard anything except some snoring. :speepin:


Rabbit runs on love salami.

No Dan, Rabbits dont eat meat, that would be CARNI-WHORES like you. I think you not only like "LOVE SALAMI" but other assorted sausages like "ONE EYED WILLIE WORMS","STUFFED CHORIZO" and most fags favorites "C@CK LINKS" (chicken sausage to you and me). You probably like "NUTS" too! :laugh3:

Now both of you get off my Arse, because osha said that unless I install handrails and seatbelts, only one person can ride me at a time qand you have both used up your turns for some time to come!!!! hasta :laugh3: :rattle:

WTF!!!!! I dont know (scratch that) I dont want to know were you actually found a VW Rabbit pic (must have one stashed at your house for sentimental value) But C'mon Remi, I cant actually believe YOU would even post that let alone compare me to it!

On a more serious note, I wish I could buy a golf diesel in CA: those things are real nice.

Rabbits???

[ryurabbit]

Thanx Dan for the new avatar! I was looking for a new one! Thats me on top by the way.

[Roxtar]

Thats me on top by the way.I don't know, dude. The one in back wouldn't have to ask the question, "r you rabbit", would he?

ROTFLMAO that is a good one!!!!

[Mike in NJ]

At this point I"m looking at about $400 for gas just to get there and come back

Whatever strange thoughts I had about trying to get back to Moab, in spite of my miserable work situation, pretty much died at the pump.

It's about 2200 miles door to slickrock - 4400 roundtrip. In the course of the week, other driving would round things off to about a 5000 mile pile. (Last time it added up to 4925)

At my whopping 13 mpg since I put the 32's on, that's 385 gallons. Simple math at a highly conservation three bucks a gallon, puts the fuel bill from the Delaware Valley at around $1150. Beer and other sundries (like Slickrock CG and some grub) puts me in the two grand range for outlay.

I imagine sidriptide's numbers are worse from NAC, but that's his cross to bear.

Simply put, there's no way I can get back this year. I'll miss you guys - have a blast as usual.

man how can you only be getting 13 mpg in an xj....my ol rig with 3:54's and 33x9.5's got over 19 in town and around 21 on the highway...hell my motor home with the xj behind it gets 12 mpg..

[Goatman]

Before I put in the stroker, haven't checked mileage since then, I got 12 mpg on the highway. That includes multiple trips from CA to Moab and to CO. I now get 12 mpg towing the Jeep on the trailer without the camper, and 10 mpg with the camper.

[Roxtar]

I've never seen the good side of 15mpg, even bone stock.

Damn Richard, I got between 12 and 14 mpg in my Dodge pulling Rabbits and my XJ on a loooong flatbed trailer from So Cal all the way to the Rubicon. The XJs were totally loaded and ready for self destruction, and a rebuild. I've found true love with my diesel.

we just checked Ali's today after her road trip and 21 mpg with 31 mtr's and 2" BB

Ive never gotten less thatn 19 on any XJ or MJ

Im betting for some of you its over gearing......

[DeadEyeJ]

y'all just need to add some acetone to the tank and I'm sure you'll be surprised when...

No seriously. I got 22mpg in my 5speed '91 4.0 HO with 3.07's and 225/75R15's and a budget boost. After 6" of lift and 33" TSL's and 4.10's I still pulled off 17-18 on the freeway at about 60-70 MPH.

And the above guy who spends $1150 on gas and somehow manages to blow $850 on a week camping... that's just amazing. Yeah the gas money sucks, but how can you blow $850 bucks? Our $55/night hotel for 5 nights will be just a shade under $300. Trail gas is under $100. Food can be bought at the grocery store for $50 or less for the week. I'm coming up about $400 under budget. Just leave the beer home and have a good/affordable time.

What came first? the beer? or the jeep?

[DrMoab]

What came first? the beer? or the jeep?
Wow...that's a deep question...I mean...You have to have beer to work on the jeep. But....The jeep really inspired the beer drinking so...I don't know.

I think they are synonymous with each other.

[Andy Steiner]

At this point I"m looking at about $400 for gas just to get there and come back I'll trade you gas bills. Your XJ for my motorhome.

no thanks :D You can drive your jeep there :D
