It makes sense to me that, according to the report, the coolant itself didn't affect FE at all, whereas increasing the coolant temp did have a 3% improvement. So the coolant enabled a benefit, but didn't give a benefit directly. It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if they had run the conventional coolant at the higher temperature.
