This is a month by month competition. Every time you make an entry it will be added up and recorded together according to the fuel type and car/year you are driving.
THIS IS NOT an individual tank competition (or a partial tank competition for that matter).

Entries will be accepted until June 5th 2012, but remember, report tanks FILLED IN MAY.

Entry Format:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Driver:
Miles:
Gallons:
Model Year:
Model:
Tranny:
Fuel Type:

You are allowed to put more than one fill up in a post, so long as each fill up conforms to format.

MPG: (optional since I will calculate it automatically anyway)
Odometer: (optional)
(anything else you would like to add)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Please put a space after the colon ( ": ")

Please NOTE Units are in US Gallons and Miles
http://bit.ly/bRcWd2
http://bit.ly/aOcO89
http://bit.ly/ai8xWe

TRANNY TYPES:
(x)A = x speed automatic
(x)M = x speed manual *
DSG = direct-shift gearbox
CVT = continuously variable transmission
* if you have swapped in a taller 5th gear please noted this (ie: 5M w/.681)

FUEL TYPES:
Bx = biodiesel - x is the percentage of bio
Biodiesel use will be indicated in GREEN.
ULSD / LSD / D2 = normal petroleum based diesel
Also please note if it's winterized
- please note if you are using a fuel additive (ie: ULSD +PS)
- - Power Service (PS); Stanadyne (ST); Redline (RL)

Posts not in format will not be tallied / corrected. If I have to do any editing to get your post in format (or to get the correct name), it will not be counted. Feel free to correct your own posts to get them in format.

Please do not go back and add additional fill-ups to a post. Multiple fill-ups per post is fine as long as all fill-ups are in format. If the driver name is not the same as your post name - this will be considered "Not in format" and will not be counted. Only exceptions would be "and spouse" etc.

Part of cross-country trip. For this half-tank, started at ~5,000ft, climbed to ~7,000ft, and filled up at ~1,800ft, so obviously had some gravity assistance in order to get the fabulous FE.

That is to be expected, not only from engine break-in, but also as we move out of colder weather, and as you get comfortable with your car so that you know how much throttle you need, how far/fast you can coast and so on.

Mostly local with about 40% on state highways. No real "road trip" in here as the state highway runs were shopping trips to the next town. New fuel filter, cleaned EGR valve, full once over by local diesel Guru. This clearly still needs a bit of fine tuning.

35.4 mpg, but I'm not complaining. 400 miles of that 530 was with a 900 lb car dolly, and 200 of those with an 1800 lb car on the 900 lb dolly.
Towing the yellow Sonett empty shell was a breeze. Towing the complete red one, with camping gear, was a bit more work.
I'm SO glad I got a dolly with brakes.
