That reads like too high a dose of political correctness.
Please KISS !

Proven / unproven may lead some to ask for the (scientific) proof - which isn't always available because not everyone tests their mods in a scientific way.
But IMHO it's not up to EM to scientifically proof every mod that is claimed to work.
Leave that to the academic world - and maybe the car manufacturers - who have the means to do it in a properly controlled environment.
If they could be bothered.


There's a lot of mods and driving behaviours that do work, even if we can't prove them or single them out in the real-world because we simply don't have enough control over the operating environment of our cars to do that - which means only the big mods can be road-proven scientifically.


However, many of these mods are effectively proven in practice by the fuel logs of those members who are using them - their increases in FE surely didn't happen out of the blue.

I can't quantify nor verify every minor mod or change in driving behaviour, but they've sure been helping my FE !

I'd stick with the terminology.

[TheMarkofPolo]

"Consistently demonstrated" for a common effective mod
"Demonstrated" for a mod done only by a few and found effective
"Insufficient data" for hypotheticals that haven't been found effective.

...pick most appropriate one:

[ x ] Backed by data collected via controlled A-B-A tests.
[ x ] Backed by seat-of-the-pants imperical data.
[ x ] Backed by hearsay and innuendo comments.
[ x ] Backed by rumors.

[NachtRitter]

[ x ] Backed by hoaxers

[Old Tele man]

...good one!

Will do.

There are also some mod pages that have been filled out very comprehensively and therefore may warrant a link from the specific mod in the +65 efficiency mod list to the wiki. Any with efficiency data from a few users would be good cantidates

I'm going to set up the page so you can edit the individual mods & add links to the wiki where appropriate. Will PM with info this evening.

Can I please get that access too? Both of us have been working on the wiki and it works out well that we are ~12 hours apart - one of us is on most of the time
