Just filled up this morning: 38.83 mpg. Could have been slightly better if I caught the tires earlier, but not by too much. Got a couple more mods in mind for this next round, and I spied some extra coroplast floating around my town...

Sorry to hear you drop out, tas, but good luck with the new ride

Nice work Socket...Bhazard will have to repeat his first round success to top your tank. Should be a great matchup!

Updated bracket is attached...

By my unreliable calculations, I'll have to better 38.11 to beat cfg83.
It might be close, but it's not looking good for me.

I expect to fill up Wednesday (12/03/2008).
That was part of my diabolical plan. I cross-referenced the addresses of internet users in your area with the addresses of retail stores. Then I spammed them with tons of e-mail coupons that would only work for those stores that are *farthest* from where they lived. This caused people to be driving too much all over the place where you are. I am pretty sure I sent you a lot of "50% Off Coroplast" ads that were maybe 20 miles away from where you live.

PS - I think I watched too many James Bond marathons this weekend.

I'm missing my second round tank in that bracket. It appears in an earlier-posted bracket, though.

ROTFLOL! Now that's strategery!

Temps have dropped like crazy here, so it's going to be very close -- extra effort has been initiated. I've been home sick so not very many miles lately. 1/2-tank so far.

Oh, nevermind... I see that RH77's last tank was 17 NOV. I think I missed that post.

Sorry about that PTSmith. I accidentally posted a first round tank for RH77 from the 17th that did not count in the tourney. After realizing my mistake I also took your second round tank off the bracket until you have an opponent.

cfg83, you are a NUT! I would've fallen for the 50% off coroplast, too.

My math skills really suck. Now I'm figuring I only need 37.11+. There may be hope yet!
