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 August 5th 2011, but remember, report tanks FILLED IN JULY.

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.

You can use the odometer figure. You can put whatever you want for the MPG figure because it will be ignored (it is calculated from the miles & fuel). Some MFDs do not give accurate results.

Come on now, be nice, the guy is just asking a simple question, no need to tell him that he will be ignored...not a very welcome approach....
His car is 2009 so as we know from MANY people reporting the error is less than 2%, so his MDF reading is very close.

... So the MPG figure supplied will be ignored. I fail to understand why that is a problem for either Netdewt, Juergs or anyone else?

This is while hauling @ss through the NY Catskills. Moderate to high hypermilling for the last 80 miles.
Beautiful roads and country out there, great drive. Was for the ALMS Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock Park. :D

Vented & brimmed presumably. On some cars you can easily get an extra gallon.
