I've had difficulty finding the time and consistent conditions needed for accurate testing. I need to find a place to do coast down. Since I have no instantaneous FE instrumentation, and I live in Oregon (so I can't pump my own gas), I really need repeated long hwy trips to factor out uncontrolled variables.

I'm not much of a scientist/engineer. I tend to get fixated on ideas and rely too much on intuition—at least too much to prove anything with certainty. But hey, I was a humanities major, I was only taught to deconstruct objective claims .

However, I still need to do enough testing to at least convince myself it's working, so I do plan on doing some more dedicated testing.
