Running a WAI through the wringer

[FrugalFloyd]

Summing it up:
A1 (control) test 31 mph CC = IAT 73?, ambient 51-55?, 53.3 mpg
B1 (WAI) test 31 mph CC = IAT 100?, ambient 60?, 54.2 mpg
A2 (control) test 31 mph CC = IAT 76?, ambient 65?, 54.3 mpg
B2 (WAI) test 31 mph CC = IAT 100-103?, ambient 70?, 54.8 mpg

A3 (control) test P&G = IAT 73?, ambient 65?, 64.7 mpg
B3 (WAI) test P&G = IAT 91?, ambient 70?, 65.8 mpg

It's possible to look at these same figures, and argue the WAI does give a fairly consistent 1 mpg or 2% FE increase. The fly in the ointment is the B1-A2 overlap, and the consistent rise with increasing ambient temperature.

I suppose I could do BAB testing, and long-term testing, but wonder if it's worth it. What do you think?

I think your test results are solid and good enough for me. Thanks again for all the data!!!
