This is a month by month record of mileage. 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 intended to be an individual tank record (or a partial tank record for that matter). So if you want to wait and post all of your tanks in APRIL at once, it would be greatly appreciated (I'm lazier than the previous posters:) DanG144.)

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

Posts not in format will not be tallied / corrected

I just noticed your request for one posting at the end of the month. One drawback to the A3 versus the B4V is the limited driving range. I'm certain that I'll have more entries for this car this month so I'll hold off on posting.

My first April tank.

Driver: MikeMars
Miles: 887.5
Gallons: 16.265 (61.57 litres = 13.543 imp gallons)
Model Year: 2000 (early)
Model: Passat 1.9TDi 115hp PD
Tranny: Manual 5-gear
Fuel Type: ULSD

Trip computer claims 66.0 imperial mpg (a PB, previous was 64.7). Calculating by hand shows 65.4 imperial mpg (which is about 1% less than the computer).

Overall the weather was warmer so there has been a modest improvement over the previous tank.

Incidentally this tank cost £ 71.98, which is about $ 143.96. 116.9 pence per litre = around $ 8.85 per us gallon.

Mixed driving mostly my commute with short trips and multiple WOT experiments using the triptronic and standard automatic to see the difference. I expected an under 40 tank so the restrained driving must have helped.
