I've seen resulted as much as ~763% increases.

When both Car#1 and Car#2 were both Gen-1 Insight's.
The route and driving methods can have ENORMOUS effects (+ or -).
Thus the importance (to me) of testing under controlled conditions. That or you have to seriously quantify the uncontrolled conditions.
Even more so when the claims are extraordinary ... as the saying goes ... extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Otherwise ... for me at least ... you just shouldn't (don't have sufficient justification) be making anything but fairly 'conventional' claims.
