Here's to hoping I won't be in this month's contest either. It's been either warm (so I chose to ride the bicycle), or too cold and gelled the B100 filled car (so I have to ride the bicycle)...

Probably the last of the "easy mileage." Drove pretty fast for most of this tank and still got over my lifetime average. The current tank I've been going for MPG - Scangauge shows 4.0L/100km but my fuel gauge tells me differently. Oh well... it was a good summer.

I had to work real hard to get this. I usually drive like a bat out of hell and get 38 to 40. With all the power this car has with rc5 and the hybrid turbo I am happy to see close to 44mpg.
On a long road trip with speed 70 to 75 I think I could easily get 48.

First tank after I calibrated the ScanGaugeII. Very impressed with it. It said I had used 15.1 gallons and that my tank MPG was 54.5. I would say it is pretty damn accurate!
