Ok......

So the solution is to do nothing?

sure there are variables but the idea is to get a BASE idea of what the car does.

1. warm it up before first drive.
2. do it after noon (temp stay consistant for a couple of hours)
3. Up and down negates wind
4. don't do it on a windy day.
5. do it on a day over 70 degrees.
