And I also established that they were repeatable, and you continue to
make unsubstantiated allegations that they are not.

Are you trying to establish that the trip computer makes accurate fuel
economy calculations?

And I calculated that 120W of headlights consumes something like 100mL
per hour plus or minus 40%.

Nobody has challenged those numbers, and my sanity check calculations
seem to indicate I'm at least in the right order of magnitude with that
figure...

<raised eyebrow> Who said you needed a fuel flow measurement to
improve fuel economy/efficiency ?

JL
(I've said repeatedly you can't make assumptions about a multitude of
things, calculate a fuel flow and then claim you know it's
particularly accurate though)
