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 August 5th 2009, but remember, report tanks FILLED IN JULY.

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)
(anything else you would like to add)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hint on entering your data - after the colon ( ":") put a space.

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

FUEL TYPES:
Bx = biodiesel - x is the percentage of bio
Biodiesel use equal to, or more than B20, 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 fillups to a post. Multiple fillups per post is fine as long as all fillups 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.

Just my commute drive mainly with 50/ 50 highway and small local roads, but downtown DC traffic also. I think I could have been a couple of mpg over 50 if not for 3 or 4 bad traffic jams during thunder storms on this tank. Still very happy with the numbers new personal bests and first time over 800 on a tank and getting 50 mpg.:D

I'm going to have some trouble going over the 48 mark in July. I've been trying different driving styles, and it's hurting my MPG. Hope next tank will be better.

It's nice to be in the top 5 for now, I don't know how long I'll stay there though. But the 821 on a tank and over 50 mpg for the first time is a personal record for me :) And driving a PD slushbox tranny also, pretty good I would say:D

I miss my MK3 with the 60 MPG tanks...been having a bit of a lead foot anyway this month, but I did have one good tank so far! Have another 2500 miles before the end of the month, I'll try to get my reports in.

I've been trying different driving styles, and I guess my car really doesn't like it at all. Same route as usual. I'll try to get back to my normal way of driving.
