I beg to disagree.
What you're testing this way is the efficiency at a very specific RPM and in specific conditions.

Performing a lot of miles on the other hand is a way to check the mod in various conditions, all in all, real life.

There are ways I can think of to improve mileage in very specific conditions but in real worl driving they end up worst than the factory setup.
Balance is a difficult task.
