I LOVE that!
Now on topic...
I'm glad to see that people on the forum have a good grasp on research methods. I taught a research methods class in grad school and it was a nightmare. It's supposed to be the first class taken before any others and the students were almost all juniors or seniors. They thought it was a waste of time and it drove me nuts!!! It's this type of thing that you guys are talking about. It's so so so important! Did this addition/deletion make a change in mpg or not? Is the difference big enough to be a difference? Is it because of something other than the addition/deletion?
I really do appreciate people doing the A-B-A testing and reporting whether they're using their scangauge or whatever to measure mpg. I know A-B-A is time consuming and difficult. That's why I haven't done it yet!
I don't really know how either. A bit scared to touch the alternator at this point. I'm still at the crude stage myself: tank-fill-up and odometer for mpg-measuring. Hopefully I can add some good data here at some point!
Thanks for the thread post MetroMPG!
