Join the TDIclub's monthly MPG competition! Last month's results are here(website) or here(PDF).
It's easy to participate! All you have to do is post your fuel economy data in 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
<font color="red">Oct.Total 1463.4m/32.2g=45.4mpg*</font>
<font color="green">MMPT: 742.4**</font>
<font color="red">*The Month's Total line of your MPG report is critical. Please remember to total your miles / gallons and MPGs. </font>
<font color="green">**MMPT [Most Miles Per Tank] is a new catergory that acknowledges our "range-superheros". To be considered for the monthly MMPT podium you must add the MMPT line to your final report each month.</font>
Note: Report in US miles and US gallons for consistency (and to avoid confusion).
Other optional data you could include are:
Speed: =, +, or - (how fast you drive in relation to the posted speed limit)
Shiftyour most common shifting RPMs)
ODO: (the total mileage on your TDI)
Additivefuel additives)
Notes: (anything else you'd like to share)
Remember to absolutely never compromise safety in pursuit of MPG Competition glory.
I will post standings updates weekly or bi-weekly. If you have a reasonably accurate MFA, you do not even need to fill up to have your data included in the standings! 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)
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 - 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
