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 OCT 5th 2009, but remember, report tanks FILLED IN SEPTEMBER.

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.

I discovered this evening that timing has been retarded off the bottom of the scale. We'll see if I can't get that mileage up (and power levels, too) when I re-set that pump position. Distance indicated reflects the 4% correction needed to bring the low odometer reading up to GPS distance (example: car indicated 457.2 while the GPS showed 475.43).

Seems like something happened to my mpg after my 20 000 service. They changed the fuel filter: maybe lost some fuel. They also deflated my tires. I pumped them back to 40psi some time later. Weather is colder, but I didn't expect such a drop.

Paid a penalty for letting my partner drive the car in the Hamptons - he's much more aggressive. But I almost completely made up for his driving by today's 110 mile trip home with a good tailwind - trip average was 61+ mpg!
