Hows my math, gas costs
First off I had a great time at this years Bimmerfest.
Jon mentioned there were 2000 cars this year. 2000 cars times 500 miles (average) =1,000,000 miles driven 1,000,000 divided by 22.5 mpg= 44,444 gallons of gas 44,444 times $4.10= $182,220 spent on gas for Bimmerfest  Worth every cent.  Greg

Math genius here in bimmerfest? What's more impressive is the values Greg came up with in the calculation.
