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 March 5th, but remember, report tanks FILLED IN Feb.

Entry Format:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Driver:

US GALLONS AND MILES

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 note this (ie: 5M w/.681)

FUEL TYPES:
Bx = biodiesel - x is the percentage of bio
ULSD / LSD / D2 = normal petroleum based diesel
- please note if you are using a fuel additive (ie: ULSD +PS)
- - Power Service (PS); Stanadyne (ST); Redline (RL)

I have a suggestion for a new category in the monthly mileage competition. I would like to see 3 transmission categories Manual, DSG and Automatic. A DSG is not a true automatic with the same penalties that a true automatic slushbox has. It is out as a suggetion, I would like to hear how the other regulars feel about it? Is it OK to add this new category?

Take care

every host reports the winners differently. If you go back you'll notice I have winners for each platform and transmission.

It's been a while since I last filled to the top to allow calculation. A few gallons of D2 here, a few of B100 there and finally an up-the-neck topping last night to give me a stop volume and distance.
The snow tires offset the odometer by about 10% (65 mph on the GPS shows as 60 on the speedometer, 100 mile trip on the odometer comes up as 91 on the GPS) but the values submitted here are the uncorrected vehicle numbers. The data guru can adjust the miles up by 10% to correct, or can leave them in this uncorrected state.

Welcome to the club Larry G!

Feel free to post your results for your next tank and I'll get you on the list...unless your 56.4mpg was for an entire tank then all you need to do is post it in format like LarryLymb did.
