as that’s a valid concept.

Shuffling an individual around bereft of gear or goods lacks meaning. Just “means” he does it with the air conditioning a motorcycle lacks. But he can’t account for unused capacity re empty seats and cargo space. IOW, it’s no test.

Make the test[s] real.

Vehicle scaled weight against published shipping weight (curb weight) for any test.

Loaded to limit, is the real FE test.

66-75% capacity for regular driving as the baseline.

.

Do I get to use my 18-wheeler for that? Because ton-mpg makes this thing look like a star, and I drive waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more miles in this than in any car...
