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 June 5th 2014, but remember, report tanks FILLED IN MAY.

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.

Fuel Type: B02 + Lubrimoly

One 200 mile road trip and six weeks of local running around. This shows the effect of the second dose of Lubri Moly Super Diesel Additive in breaking up the crud left in the injectors by the swill for diesel fuel sold here in Central PA. The engine is finally starting to run like its old self. That additive is $$$ for me, but it seems to make the car fun to drive again.:D

A new job with a most all highway commute 31 miles one way. The challenge is to use the right mod and not romp on it too much or the mpg can go down 2 or more mpg on one hard hill climb.

first highway tank

This is my first mostly highway tankful. Very impressed at the VW diesel technology. Stock tires at 36 psi and loaded with approximately 600 lbs of cargo behind the front seats. Went from Wilson, NC to Springfield, MA on one fill of Kangeroo labeled fuel and 8 ounces of grey PS Diesel Kleen additive. Long day for sure.
