Join the TDIclub's monthly MPG competition! Last month's results are here. It's easy to participate! All you have to do is:
1 - drive at least 1000 miles during the month and have some way of reporting your MPGs with reasonable accuracy.
2 - remember to absolutely never compromise safety in pursuit of MPG Competition glory.
I will post standings updates every Monday. You do not have to fill up every week [unless you want to have new data included in every standings update] you just need to have filled up at least once and driven at least 1000 miles during the month. If you have a reasonably accurate MFA, you do not even need to have one fill up! Just send in a post with the MFA computed MPGs. (incredibly, Rammstein and possibly others can drive for an entire month, more than 1200 miles, and still not need to fill up )
Below is an example of how monthly MPGs should be calculated, using AudiLikeA4's Oct04 numbers. Please post/report your data using this format:
[Driver]AudiLikeA4 [Car]04 Golf 5m [Fuel]D2
10/5 721.0m/16.1g=44.8mpg
10/10 742.4m/16.1g=46.1mpg
Oct.Total 1463.4m/32.2g=45.4mpg
The last line of your MPG report is critical. Please remember to total your miles / gallons and MPGs.
At the end of every month we'll crown numerous champions.
Overall (of course this is the most coveted title), A3/B4, A4, A4PD, B5, even Touareg (and titles for any other models I've missed).
Two MPG award categories that absolutely everyone has a shot at are PR [Personal Record] awards: a "Road Trip PR" and a "Standard Driving PR".
Road Trips are often nearly all highway miles and MPG numbers (for some) are much better than their Standard Driving. Standard Driving is just your normal commuting and recreational driving. If you set your own Personal MPG Record [Road Trip and/or Standard Driving] please post and I'll record the PR you achieved in the standings.
Good luck! - Rob
