You can still participate in the Challenge if you don't carry the groceries, but won't be scored - as far as I understand.
I would contact Craig and ask for advice concerning how, specifically, the groceries need to be carried. If just adding the $100 bag will do it, buy that.
I think Craig would be happy to have you participate either way. Just try to satisfy the rules to compete, but if you don't just have fun. I don't understand a lot of the reasoning behind some of Craig's rules and requirements - but it's his game.
The impression I got was that everyone started with a full tank, and filled-up at the end to get the amount of fuel used on the trip. Running ethanol-free (at the start) would certainly be an advantage.
Good luck.
