May 2007 Mileage Competition
This is how the contest works:
This is a month by month competition. Everytime 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...but remember, report tanks filled in MAY.
If you have any questions, PM me.

Miles are almost entirely in April, but filled up today. Diesel dropped a cent/litre at my station too, so it really paid off  Best tank ever for MPG too!
I'm really loving the diesel now. At the local Sunoco diesel was 89.9 today, and regular gas was 107.9. I'm not normally one to worry about a few cents either way, but I'm saving so much money with the Golf now!

This should be the last of the petro I need until December. So nice to be back to B100 again.

Best MPG in your B4V.

This Apr-May tank is the best (so far) in this wagon. I've only had this one on the road since November.
I had one top-off in January that calculated to 74+ mpg, but that was for less than 6 gallons of D2 to dilute the bio already in the tank.
And the exhaust smells so much better now on B100 than even the B75 of earlier this week.
