Wayne went with the scout troop to Pilot Mountain. The gas was paid for with scout troop money. Here is a math story problem for you:
The Mustang held 4 people and no gear. The gasoline (at $3.90 a gallon) was $37. How much did it cost to haul each person? (Answer: averaged $9.25 each)
Our 15-passenger van took 14 people, plus pulled the scout trailer behind with all the gear. The gasoline was $105. Not counting the "stuff", how much did it cost to haul each person? (Answer: averaged $7.50 each).
Of course, if you add in all the gear in the trailer and all the gear stuffed around the people inside the van, the van hauled a lot more proportionately to the Mustang. But I don't know how to write that story problem.
The moral of the story: our 15 passenger van is AWESOME!
