Hey guys....
My Volvo has a 12.1L diesel engine. Considerably larger in displacement and weight than pick-up trucks.
The vehicle has a rather comprehensive computer built into the dashboard. One of the functions is your current fuel mileage.
I often obtain mileage readings of over 40 mpg. Does this mean I can get 40 miles per gallon with a 35,000 pound rig (truck and fiver)?
Well, I do. And it happens all the time.
So, should I tell everyone I get 40 mpg? If I could tune my data to convince folks this was consistent, maybe everyone would buy a HDT rather than a PU :Z Now, that would be good for both my ego and Volvo.
Data is a funny thing, it can be skewed and interpreted in a variety of ways. Shucks, I can show you how putting sand in your oil can improve mileage with available data. :S
