Sad to say but the recent tornadoes in North Alabama meant my 03 Prius had to revert to house-power inverter mode and I was not able to do another tank-to-tank energy test. This means I'll only be able to report "gross" engine efficiency changes.
I won't be able to report a specific friction/energy change because the potential friction reduction is in the same order of magnitude as different gasolines. I had to use a gallon from the neighbor and another gallon left over from my last fuel studies, 93 octane stuff.
Sorry, events beyond my control,
Bob Wilson
