Hi Robin,
maybe I am missing something of your flying crows’ fuel
consumption issue because of being a non-native English reader and
writer;
or maybe your analogy is not so clear?
"... the actual fuel consumption“ of what? What do you mean by
"response vehicle"?
“Put your benchmarks where your mouth is ;-)” -- how would
you express this in plain language?
Thanks in advance for explaination!
Detlef
