This is interesting. Nice results. But I'm not totally clear how the test was constructed. For example, how did you control throttle? Cruise control? Use a gauge of some sort to monitor it? And I'm intrigued by the CD calculatinos but I can't see how you reached these CD values from your MPG numbers.
Thanks,
james
