Stan and Brian, Direct measurements of fuel consumption rates are easily done under any combination of circumstances by existing devices in many vehicles of more recent vintage.
Why bother with "calculated" values? Tables of *measured values* for various combinations of circumstances might be of interest to potential buyers, but a single number or pair of numbers will always be gross oversimplifications of the performance ranges of actual vehicles.
