According to one of those links, it was done on a dyno, and that shouldn't include braking energy recovery if they're talking about the engine (should it?), but I think exhaust scavenging is fair--in this century, I think a turbo in the exhaust counts as part of the engine efficiency package. In my opinion, it's "actual combustion efficiency" if the combustion energy that's otherwise wasted gets recovered in the exhaust.

PS: Sorry about the double post re Cobra Coupe body on MAX. I was cleaning my computer, and it went off.
