I'm looking forward to more crazy tanks with the SuperMID

Absolutely amazing!

Just be aware that when I first got a MPG instant readout device, the first amazing fill with it was extremely hard to reproduce.

[JanGeo]

Ok past weeks readings after last weeks fillup . . .
195 miles 4.6 gallons 42.1mpg tank average for the week!

This week off to a great start 47.2mpg home 30 mile trip and 53.0mpg back 19 mile trip more down hill and 12 gallons of water weight and slightly warmed up engine at the start of the return trip spots of rain today some heavy.

73.85mpg (418.0miles, 5.66gal) Still playing with the SuperMID and working on getting the fuel input calibrated.

Good luck to all, and Best FE

We have been waiting for the cycle to start. I thought Tre would post our roster on this thread but maybe that is not necessary. Anyway here it is.

Trebuchet03 - has a sedan
OdieTurbo - has an automatic | Above Mason Dixon
Bill in Houston
rvanengen
usedgeo - above M-D line

% improvement is going to be a lot harder for me now. I should have joined up a couple months ago . Sustaining may be a challenge.

I think he was looking for something likw this:

EAM 1: "OPEC Busters"
--------

zpiloto ... Coche Loco ... '00 Daewoo Lanos automatic ... 24 mpg ... 40.28 ... 67.8%

repete86 ... The Green Machine ... '93 Accord DX automatic ... 22 mpg ... 41.5 ... 88.6%

BeeUU ... Peugeot 405 ... '89 Peugeot 405 5-spd ... 20 mpg... 33.43 ... 67.2%

Brock ... Jetta Wagon ... '03 Jetta GLS TDI 5-spd ... 39 mpg... 57.09 ... 46.4%

[CO ZX2]

Gasmisers5 may need this short fill today. Would not normally have driven this much on a weekend but have 2 neighbors in the hospital, both are OK and luckily in the same place on the edge of town.

5/20/07 CO ZX2: 316.1 miles, 3.23 gallons, 97.86 mpg.

Had 100.2 @ 285 miles then rain for the last 41 miles, last 7 of that in mud.

Had alternator off whole tank. Disconnected knock sensor to gain ignition timing. Not a big deal at this altitude.

FormulaTwo and landspeed have recent entries in gaslogs.

omg and jwxr7 fairly recent entries.

Go GasMisers5.

97.86mpg Congratulations CO ZX2

I'm just hoping that my fill was accurate (it should be - even if I underfilled by a litre, it would still be my best ever tank).

I have 800 miles of driving to be done later this week - and with the SuperMID (uncalibrated because I will use this journey to do the fine calibration), I aim to get a very good fuel economy (which will also be for the next cycle of the competition)!

[jwxr7]

I didn't use enough fuel to merit a new fill before the end of this cycle. It's good though because gas has been about $3.50/ gal for regular for a while now .

[MetroMPG]

I just realized it's Monday! Long weekend here - feels like Sunday I'll scour the gaslogs and poste the team results this evening. I used the car once in the last 2 weeks, so I don't have another fill to report.

I'm bowing out of the competition and diamondlarry is going to take over as team Slow Burn's captain. I believe DAX is taking my place starting this week.

[MetroMPG]

Team Slow Burn update:

MetroMPG: no report (didn't use enough for a 2nd min. fill for this cycle)

diamondlarry: 05/16/2007 - 294 mi. - 4.66 gal (US) - 63.09 mpg (US)

basjoos - 05/20/2007 - 418 mi. - 5.66 gal (US) - 73.85 mpg (US)
05/15/2007 - 437.5 mi. - 5.9 gal (US) - 74.15 mpg (US)
