You're welcome. Looking forward to seeing your HAI setup.

------------------------

So, I discovered two things that were missing from my data collection rules for this A-B-A trial. First, I noticed that it was incredibly, remarkably humid on the drive back. While that might be good for the truck's engine, it certainly was not good for the driver, so I ran the A/C as a dehumidifier, with the predictable hit on fuel economy. So, A/C usage is a disqualifier.

Secondly, it might be possible that I might have to drive the truck at some point during its 8-hour cool-off period. Again, that might throw off the fuel economy, so I added that as a disqualifying factor.

Still, I can definitely see results, and the results are definitely not the kind of statistical noise associated with testing something like fuel magnets or some other such nonsense.



1 - fabricated and installed version 2 aerocap
2 - transmission torque converter stopped locking up
3 - removed version 2 aerocap
