September 2012 Mileage Thread
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 October 5th 2012, but remember, report tanks FILLED IN SEPTEMBER.
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

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.

5th tank with the gearbox upgrade my youtube vid.
Tank 50:
Journey profile: 56m/day, 70% motorway.
Techniques: Mild P+G, 60mph max.
off full @ 112,
3/4 @ 236,
1/2 @ 379,
1/4 @ 524,
Reserve @ 586,
Final section 634.4,
Temps 18c - 25c,
Weather - good.
Traffic - good.
Note refuelled with Shell V-power (premium) since the fuelsave (regular) diesel had run out at the station. Expensive as a result... exactly the same amount of fuel as the previous tank, freaky!

Best mixed mileage to date, don't know if I got a tank of "hot" fuel or if it was the weather. I drove with the flow of traffic, nothing special done to try to increase mileage.
