This removes powertrain efficiency variability, after which, the actual 'source' of any observed 'change' to mpg can be properly credited with the 'attribution.'

I see your point! I should call it a 25 mile one way commute, and I realize it wasn't enough to be statistically significant. I just wanted to update what I had so far with the little bit of driving I've done.
I've found a setting in the torque app to calibrate the mpg dial, I'm slowly working it down to what my tank's been saying.
