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 December 5th 2009, but remember, report tanks FILLED IN NOVEMBER.

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)
Odometer: (optional)
(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.

Year To Date Mileage Report <--- This is a beta report. I know there are some errors.

Please, No more "least fuel reported" category. It's misleading.

Fuel Type: ULSD

MPG: 42 mpg.

Two notes that might be of interest:

1. MFD mpg matched pen and ink calculation (first time)
2. This tank full was the victim of the ever more congested rolling parking lot commute, due to the closure of the Bay Bridge, ( FLYING support CABLES, Oakland, CA) that impacts easily a 60 mile radius. But on the other hand, 42 mpg is in the normal range for the normal commute anyway. (40-47)

Best tank I've ever had. Chevron fuel on a long nighttime drive from Austin, TX back to central Arkansas. If I'd filled up this morning before I drove to work, I'd have cleared 50 mpg easily. Not bad for a 06 DSG.
