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 June 5th 2011, but remember, report tanks FILLED IN MAY.

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

Please NOTE Units are in US Gallons and Miles
http://bit.ly/bRcWd2
http://bit.ly/aOcO89
http://bit.ly/ai8xWe

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 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 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.

Model: SEAT IBIZA ST 1.2 TDI
Tranny: 5m
Fuel Type: 5% Biodiesel (only one available nowadays)

MPG: 47 MPG

First 500 km's on 25 liters, with venting. Not bad! No cruising, just breaking in, pull ups to 3000-3500rpm, highways fast to 140 km/h with fast overtaking up to 3500 rpm. Not the stuff was used to in the Passat Wagon, but hey, that's history. This is a nice little car and with a heavy foot it is fast, much faster than the rest of traffic, might have a ticket already ;-)
Now going to the mountains, see what it's gonna be, ridewise...

This was my 1st fill-up. The dealer filled it up before I took delivery but who knows how full it really was. I filled it to the top of the filler tube. The next tank should be much more accurate.
