Come on Nev, it's a Holden.

Do any of those systems generate power without using any fuel?

Nah, a single-bar room heater in only 1 Kw. I gues you can check if that
theory is correct by checking to see if there is any paint left on the
underside of the bonnet.

No. Thanks for trying to bluff that one. Remember the discussion re:
torque......

GS mentioned speed as a way to suggest that the figures were in agreeance.
Perhaps you missed that? Perhaps you missed the 12 v vs 24 v comment as
well?

Yeah, I mean, lets *not* consider efficiency..... Obfuscation ahoy!!

As I said, when I get home. I'm still 400 odd kays and coupla days from
that.

BTW, I looked at your numbers again, as well as your assumptions, can you
tell me why you are getting the same consumption figure regardless of speed,
regardless of engine rpm?
