Interesting (useless) Statistics for the Rally

Hmmm ...... must be getting bored.

45 vehicles, average 3000 miles each, at an average of 25 mpg, and an average fuel cost of £1.20 per litre.


135,000 miles
5,400 gallons (24516 litres)
£30,000 in fuel

Won't start on the number of engine revs, or wheel revs - did that last year while sat in a big motorway traffic queue and bored everyone on the same CB channel.

If you've got 31" tyres, they'll go round almost 2 million times.

Take it you are all ready to go then

P.S. thanks for the cuppa,top tips and advice

You must have met the wrong Nick

The Roadbooks weigh 300kg - (a true fact - I've got the couriers weight slip)

Might get the truck weighed empty, then loaded

Sounds like you need to get out more

How about if you've got 35" tyres?

The Car 40 is now allocated as the 'official' honeymoon team vehicle.

In 2010 the then newly married Lyall's carried the No 40.

In 2011 the newly married (last Saturday) Law's will carry that number.

Who will bid for the No 40 in 2012?

OK - I'll go for it ....

29" = 2,086,750
31" = 1,952,121
33" = 1,833,811
35" = 1,729,022
37" = 1,635,561

Told Lyn a long time ago, when the tax man makes it more cost effective to be a married couple ........
Might live to regret that statement

3000 miles
30 mph average
1500 rpm average (30 mph in 4th/5th on average)

Engine will go round 2,250,000 times

Cheers Nick, I was loosing sleep over not knowing.......

Hmmm ..... wonder if I can come up with some silly calculation for the amount of alcohol that will be consumed

Mein Host/Chef (age 43) at the Prize-giving dinner last year has retired on the proceeds from the bar. That's a start for the overall calculations. (Note; all alcohol is consumed by the Navs not the Drivers!).

Keith, whats the total number of adults?

109

OK, so,
109 drink an average of 5 units per night (10 nights).

5450 units consumed and that's not including the Prize-giving night

So the total will be in excess of xx,000 units

I think the number of units is directly proportional to the number of miles travelled over a factor of time multiplied by the % volume. By my calculations on average it works out at 3465.326789 units per night. I know its only accurate to 6 decimal places but i am working on a more acurate version.
