Yeah but the people here are perfecting their ecomiling so when the prices go up we are ready for it leading the way.

First winner - Frank Lee

2391 posts were made in the first contest period (from post id 525024 - 527415).

Randomly selected was post #526333 using Random.org.

And that post belongs to Frank Lee in the thread, Designing a hard-shell rooftop tent.

Congrats to Frank! (Check your private messages for info on collecting your prize.)

And just as an illustration of how good his odds were, Frank made about 50 posts during the contest period, so his odds were about 1 in 48. Better than buying a lottery ticket! Cheaper, too.

Good luck to everyone in the 2nd contest period! The next draw will be on December 18th (or thereabouts -- sorry, I was a little tardy on this one).

Thanks to those fine EM fellows Tim and Darin! I was the lucky winner of the November $25 prize- Woo Hoo!

Upon learning of my good fortune I made a goal to use $25 or less in fuel for my holiday trip.

Let's see... 650 miles/49 mpg = 13.27 gallons; 4.27 gallons E10 @ $1.89/g = $8.07 + 9.0 gallons E85 @ $1.34/g = $12.06; Total $20.13

Made it thanks to cheap E85 and sub-50 mph cruising.

Great idea !
Here is a question to help out with my post count of good relevant posts:
What is the easiest drawing tool for me to use that will let me draw curves and the like, for presenting my trailer projects here?
