Crispin,

I have added numbers to your four lines:

In line 2 you mention ENERGY.    In line 3 you switch to FUEL.

Therefore, relating to line 4, I am not okay with that result.   And I 
repeat to you your line 1:
> 1. I think you should be very clear about what you want:
When you switch your terminology, we are not on the same page.   Ron and 
I are talking about ENERGY efficiency.   And we recognize that energy 
numbers and fuel values are not the same.
