I've seen it posted at least a dozen times in the past five years and I used to laugh, but now it's not as funny as it used to be. Sorry, it's time to open up and say something about the "theory" of the run.
please tell us what part is theory, i can clearly see the fuel consumpsion at 11.2 gallons per second wrong. its more like 11.2 to 13 galllons per pass. and also don garlits quoted a 7000 dolars per pass, but his figure was based on purchasing the equipment, hauler, car, parts and crew pay spread out over the entire year.
