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 2011, but remember, report tanks FILLED IN FEBRUARY.

Entry Format:

Please put a space after the colon ( ": ")

Please NOTE Units are in US Gallons and Miles

Also please note if it's winterized

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 fill-ups to a post. Multiple fill-ups per post is fine as long as all fill-ups 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.

Oldbeaver: Those top 3 are popular North American diesel fuel additives. The links are for converting liters, gallons, km and miles. Enter information like post #2.

TDI's are good for higher milage trips. On one of my previous tanks I got 58 mpg and that was only because of a ~270 mi trip on the tank. My normal commute is 27-33 miles depending on route
