I was using $3/gallon when I calculated 9 mpg, 3000 miles Louisville to Moab and back, for $1000 fuel cost. Gas price was probably higher last time though.
I heard a "forecast" that gas would be under $3/gallon for all of 2015, but that is about as reliable as a long-range weather forecast.

I am hoping you might be bringing these to Moab this year I would like to get one but I am not sure which color, I am leaning toward orange or red, it would be cool to see what each color looks and then pic one. If you have other small stuff to sell please bring it I might be interested in other stuff too.
For those of us who have never gone to Moab; what's the plan? Is each day it's own loop? Is the first run on Monday? I'm not sure I can be there the whole time so I'm trying to figure out the best days to be there. I will burn a full day driving to and another driving from. For those that are camping; where are you staying?

Did anyone else notice Jack's (pbkid) post at the top of the thread? Did I miss another thread where he relayed this fantastic news to us?
Super duper congratulations to Jack and Whitney!!

OK, now that that's out of the way...
ahdoman, historically ZuZoo (as it used to be called) started on the Tuesday of the week that we are out in Moab, at least for us, with a "VX Only" run. We still, sort of, keep to that tradition with a newbie run on Tuesday that is meant to showcase to new off roaders just what our VX's are capable of. We usually try to pick a trail that a stock VX can get through so we don't scare anyone.
In general, there are usually multiple runs on multiple trails going on simultaneously throughout the week. We usually meet up at The Stoop (the Apache Hotel this year) in the evenings to chit chat, meet and greet, and just generally hang out with the VX fam. During the multiple, mostly adult beverage fueled conversations groups will start to form for the next days trails. Some "trail leaders" will pick harder trails and others will pick easier trails. It all kind of ebbs and flows naturally and usually everyone gets to do a trail that they are comfortable with.
Once you get to Moab and meet everyone and check out their rigs you'll get a good feel for who you want to run with and when.
I really hope that you can make it out because even if you don't run a trail at all it's still great to meet everyone and hang out with a bunch of other VX nerds.
