The 27.5 is an important result but somewhat difficult to measure. Could you go over how you measure it? What sort of driving terrain?

Do you have instrumentation to look at the ICE rpm, torque and fuel flow? This would make it easier to read out the efficiency.

I live in North Alabama. Would you have a recommended URL that might point me at regional sources of E85?

Thanks,
