1). Need Engine Hours to record AVERAGE MPH per tank. (Whatever denotes drivetrain in use). If it will break down farther, all the better.

2). Get a scale reading (CAT SCALE; app). An empty vehicle doesn’t mean much, but it’s a start. (Max fuel to scale. Driver plus gear permanently kept aboard). The separate Steer and Drive Axle readings also get you on target per Load & Pressure Table to set tire pressure CORRECTLY.

3). If shock absorbers are past 40k Miles, gas charge has dissipated. Test accuracy should be with new.

4). What tires? Open or closed shoulder? P-metric or LT?

5). What geographical region of USA?

6). Description of use. Commuter? In town only or daily long distance? Are trips under 1-hour in duration, or over 3-hours?

These are basics for a comparison
