Phil Knox generated the .893 driveline efficiency figure so I used it rather the using .90. Also I had a sq ft figure of 35.763 sq ft for frontal area. I guessed at 500 watts parasitic load but later changed that to 400 watts to tweak the results. I am generating good numbers for my speed ranges in 5 mph increments from 45 mph to 85 mph which I already have confirmation data for. I find the tool to be very interesting and fun to use as long as you can input some reasonably good assumptions. It is possible to make mistakes and still have good results if other inputs are wrong the other way.

Thank you for your information on engine efficiency. I had assumed as much. Any good numbers on rolling resistance and parasitic loads would be welcome.
