Re: JVN's Calculator (help)


@T^2:

So bottom line, if I read you correctly, to get the efficiency numbers you measured the vehicle top speed in each gear, and divided that by the calculated vehicle speed at CIM-free-speed.

That's an interesting method. It also helps explain why you got a higher efficiency with more gears.

@all:

What "efficiency" metrics and test methods do other teams use?
