bottom line
Calculated load is directly related to fuel consumption
monitor calculated load and reduce your calculated load at a consistent vehicle speed and you reduce
fuel consumption

you can reduce calculated load by improving the efficiency of the ability of the engine to pump air - but most people have no way to do much that could have any effect at all on VE on a modern day fuel injected engine -

the engine has already been engineered and produced and installed in your car

you can also reduce calculated load by reducing aerodynamic drag and by reducing rolling resistance
