I do have data recorded in a spread sheet that needs to be organized. I pulled a trailer (3,000 pound parachute) for my landscaping business and tree service for the first couple of years I owned the truck. I need to better organize it to reflect which miles are pulling a trailer, which are unladen, which are city and which are highway.
I have been doing fuel economy research as it relates to my truck for years. I test devices, theories, aftermarket modifications, and build my own prototypes. I publish my findings on my blog. I believe my protocol is pretty good but am always open to constructive criticism.
My ram air intake scoop is connected directly to the air box and so I would guess the repeatable testing protocol would be to disconnect and run without it which I have done several times. The ram air scoop only provides significant measurable benefit on the highway.
