>you might think it’s like measuring a car’s fuel economy or a dishwasher’s energy rating: a knowable value with a shared methodology for calculating it. You’d be wrong.
But everyone knows fuel economy is everything but a knowable value. Everything from if it has rained in the past four hours to temperature to loading of the vehicle to the chemical composition of the fuel (HVO vs traditional), how worn are your tires? Are they installed the right way? Are your brakes lagging? The possibilities are endless. You could end up with twice the consumption.
By the way, copy-pasting from the website is terrible on desktop firefox, the site just lags every second, for a second.
