Too small a sample size to mean anything, for one thing. I'm not in
the mood to really look at the numbers, but there's substantal
variation in them run to run. That's not necessarily a flaw, but it
does mean that they need more data to show that the changes they
report mean anything. And they don't report some things that would
make a difference in how the engine runs, like the coolant
temperature, or the ambient temperature.
