March 2016 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 April 5th 2016, but remember, report tanks FILLED IN MARCH.

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 have an idea, let me know if those that post multiple fill ups in one post can do this....

Instead of putting in dates, mpgs, and other information, could you try running them all in sequence with no extraneous information... something like this example using Canary5.0 and of course all the data wouldn't be duplicated:

Driver: Canary5.0
Miles: 551.9

I checked tire pressure for first time in 3 months and found I was at 32 instead of 40. Bumped up to 42 all around prior to this tank. This was almost all highway driving, focused on staying between 1800 and 2000 rpm with cruise. I didn't go for a record mileage tank because I was towing a track bike to VIR today. But this is my best MPG so far.

Please remove the bold font from your data and repost, when i copy text data it puts an asterisks * in front of Driver and won't import

This was a multi-fill/pump "tank." Had to make a couple quick stops at my other-than regular pump to get by until a "proper" fill-up.

Fixed. For some reason, when I copy the format and paste, it just goes bold, as seen in my last 2 months fuel economy threads. Didn't realize it was an issue. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Edited post and got it back to regular.
