#1> ICE Load
#2> ICE RPM
#3> Vehicle Speed
#4> Weather Conditions

With #1 and #2 and a BSFC you know the real time operating efficiency of that warmed up ICE ... over the run you can average it out to measure the average % ICE Effiiency for that method.

With #3 and #4 you can quantify and determine any travel joule differences between the runs.

A real time operating % efficiency meter is one of my dream Mods ... I may never get it ... but definitely on my wish list.
How do you get ICE Load ?
