When money talks, I hate to listen

I propose that we prepay Levi for gas money. I spoke to him and he thought gas $ would be about $550. There are 8 of us, so that works out to be $70 a person. I think we should all make sure to get the money to Levi before the trip. That way someone, and it would probably be Levi, doesn't get stuck covering people who never get around to paying or making full payment.
I've spoken to a few of the crew and they all thought it made the most sense to split the fuel costs evenly. I know some of us, including me, will not be in the car whole trip. However, at some point we'll all be in the car. So we all need the car to make the trip. If you disagree, that's fine. Post a comment and we can get a discussion going.
We should probably do the same for campgrounds and hotel stays....
