' what do energy losses due to friction become if 'friction' is reduced by 1000%

In the case of 'finetuning', in Mumbai, India:
1) For April, May, June, July, August, and September, he/she wouldn't be able to drive his/her car at all, without exceeding Dr. Erdemir's test temperatures.
2) For October, November, December, January, February, and March, he/she
would be able to operate the car for a few minutes, until the engine temperature reached 25-C.
3) Engine 'speed' would be limited to 60-rpm, at 31- mph ( 48-km/h ) the average local speed limit, as per Dr. Erdimer's metrics.
4) The car 'WOULD' experience a 20% increase in mpg.
5) However, the car would ALSO get 20% better mpg, with zero modifications to the engine oil.
6) 'Fully-warmed,' the car would see a 0.41% improvement in fuel economy, with a 1,000% reduction in 'friction.'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7) If he/she were driving a Chevrolet TRAX, and after driving 36-km, at a constant 88-km/h, slowing back down to a constant 48-km/h, they would see a fuel economy improvement, from, 86.976-mpg, to 87.333-mpg.
