Bumping this thread as I feel a bit like this is an issue too, and I'm nowhere near top 10.
IMO, a very simple and easy limit would make it much more fair without being very discouraging.
I would say that in order to be entered the person should need to have entered:
At minimum and in total (i.e. all entries added together must be this much or more):
400 miles and
4 gaslog entries and
20 gallons of fuel used
within the last 90 days.
For those concerned about ruling out people who drive very little or have extremely high MPG vehicles, 400 mi in 90 days is 1600 mi/year, and at 100MPG it would still only require 8000 mi/year to make 20 gallons in 90 days. That could be a little harsh on motorcycles/trikes, so maybe they could have a 10 or 12 gallon requirement? Or maybe there could be a 16 gallon overall requirement, if it would be too difficult to make separate requirements for different categories.
