I'm still working on all this so it's a mess but you can see some things amidst it haha. On the very right hand side (injection crap) the first column is my truck and the second column is variables if my truck had 50% efficiency. Bigger engines are pulling off 50-60% efficiency...so its not impossible! Now the issues I'm running into is I have no way of knowing the HP of my truck based on mpg and other things. Just because I get XX mpg doesn't tell me anything as to how much power it takes to go 60mph even if I stayed at that speed the entire time. You might think it sounds easy enough if I used BTU content but I have no clue knowing how efficient the engine is at that time (how much of this BTU is being thrown out of the radiator...) I have to use the data plate information to get an efficiency and all of my calculations are based on THAT efficiency. So my 25mpg at 60mph is based on 33.4% efficiency, which means it is using 40.52HP. However, 12 valves are completely static so it is wrong to assume it is 33.4% at every RPM/load, but I have no other way to measure it unless I was on a dyno ANDDDD measured fuel rate at the same time. You MUST have both. The fuel BTU/lb is also an assumption based on what I found on the internet, different fuels have different BTU contents so theoretically the fuel you use should be tested as well. This all sucks because obviously a guy getting 20mpg and 25mpg with identical trucks is going to have different efficiencies, but I would need the HP as well. I have no clue how the scangauge measures HP but until I find out (from one of you if you know) then I will be very weary of it's accuracy. This is too big for the forum so you guys will have to click on it. http://www.mopar1973man.com/isx97/Efficiency/Efficiency1.jpg
