Time to ante up another $.02....
Ron, I agree with your logic/approach, as Will stated, but your math doesn't pass the sniff test. If the benefit of the HA is marginal with most of the resistive work being done by the TT tires, why does the HA provide such great improvement over a TT with a standard hitch? After all, it's got the same tires.....Tim's calcs seem to be more in ballpark from an expected magnitude.
Sorry I can't offer more specifics to assist, but your meter is definitely reading "out of range" on this one.
