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 July 5th 2011, but remember, report tanks FILLED IN JUNE.

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.

I am seeing about a 7% drop in mileage due to biodiesel, as far as I can tell. Driving the same, tire pressure is the same, new air filter, second fillup with B100 nets about the same, 43.5mpg, down 3-4mpg from B65 (35% kerosene or diesel).

Fuel: D2 (MN has 5% bio)
MPG: 55.21

Only the second tank on the '03 for this year as I drove the '01 thru winter and spring. 55+ MPG is about where this one ran most of last year on the work commute. I have a P0401 (insuffecient EGR recirculation) code every start-up, so I need to get that figured out. And a blinking GP light this morning, so must have a brake light/brake light switch out. Seems like its always something. Just changed out the blower fan resistor pack yesterday.:(
