Team Pontiac Thread.

Well other teams have threads so I'll start one too. As of day one of Team Pontiac we are at the 21 of 33 thanks to Daox's tank on his sunfire. He is the only other member of the team though. (note to self: drive more so you can fill up and contribute to the team. Pull your own weight don't make everyone else do all the work.) That's not bad for the first day though.

Check out the current standings here Ecomodder Team Standings
If you have a pontiac and haven't joined the team do that hereTeam Pontiac!

Anyway if you have anything to post about that might not need it's own thread or that you want to keep out of a build thread to keep it uncluttered feel free to post it here. If you want to know what I'm doing read below.

I'm working on an active grille block right now for my sunfire and an update of the OBDuino which I call the OBDuino 2. Yes it's very original I know. But if you join the team before I finish it I'll let you name it something better. If you can think of something better which should be pretty hard. :P

Ok that's all for now.

Not too shabby off the bat. If we can manage just a 3 mpg increase for the team we can jump into the teens.

My next tank will hopefully be bringing my average up by that much.

I might go out later ad see where my tank is at if it's at the half way point I'll put up a guesstimated mileage based off of that. It's probably going to be pretty bad since all but two or three trips have been pretty short like 3 miles or less but maybe I'll be surprised.

Ok so I used just over 1/4 of a tank I figured it to be 4.20 gallons and I actually did pretty good 29ish mpg! Not bad for all city driving and most trips being 3 miles or less.

Edit: and were now at #23 on the standings

I'll PM a bunch of guys who have made fill ups in the last couple months to see if they want to join up.

Edit: Just sent a PM out to 8 guys. We'll see who joins up.

I've seen a few pontiac around here hopefully we get a few more to join. I think we could probably even be a rival to team honda.

Wow we got two more users and were now at number 19 and we have our first firefly on the team! (thanks rednic) a few more of those and we'll be in really good shape. Doesn't MetroMPG have a firefly too?
