5 to 15% is from the test based on 4-Cylinder engine, 1.6L 16-valve, 4-speed
automatic transmission, without turbo-charge. Larger engines like V8 or V10
could save even more, due to its power redundency and wider DCD fitness
range. V8 test data is not available now. I'll get you updated sooner or
later.
