I think the cars are better than 1 million rupees. :lol3:
Bransens got TWO cars (one for winning leg 10, and another for winning the 2nd and 3rd place after race challenge with the Weavers) and $240,000 worth of oil (but they need to stick with BP forever lol). Not only that, they also got a second place cash prize of 100,000 dollars. That's nearly more than $400,000 already I think. :lol3:
Oh and also a Universal Orlando Resort package at Orlando, Florida provided by Travelocity. :oh
I think even with winning 8 legs, Dave and Rachel's prizes aren't anywhere near. :iok

Other random prizes in recent seasons I remembered are Steve and Allie's $7,000 by 7UP
Two 55" HD TVs won by Louie and Michael (like, totally lame?)
A kayak for each person won by Gary and Matt
A red cedar sauna and a pair of 52 inch HD LCD TVs won by Meghan and Cheyne
Not to forget that, Tammy and Victor won kayaks too.
It's like... compared to cars... these prizes are miserable and pales in comparison. And I'm glad they stopped giving them out. :lol3: I know that a good Kayak can only cost up to from $500 to $1000 and really... even if they are plated with gold wordings.. it shouldn't be more than $2k worth, which is sad.

The Bransons won a lifetime supply of gasoline for the four team members, not oil. And it was valued in gallons not a cash value at the time.
They definitely came out ahead on that, because the median price of gasoline in the U.S. has gone up considerably since their season (i.e., I don't think anyone in the U.S. was paying $3.00/gal. at the time, and now, you cannot find any gas anywhere in the U.S. as low as $3.00/gal. at anytime during the year. (I know that where I'm at the lowest it has been since the beginning of 2012 has been $3.09/gal. last spring, and the lowest this spring has been $3.27/gal. (a few weeks ago); then it went up to $3.79/gal. in less than 48 hours.)
But as I said, the Bransons cleaned up on the gasoline prize.

They probably spent a load of money trying to store all that gasoline. :lol3:
