Perform the test with the test vehicle and a control vehicle.
The control vehicle compensates for changes in traffic
conditions.
The vehicles must stay close together to experience the
same varying traffic and weather conditions, but not so
close as to affect each other's driving or headwind.
The test course must be 65 to 80 km [40 to 50 mi] long.
The test route and truck weights must not change during
the test.
All of the test results are based on comparing the fuel used
by the test truck to the fuel used by the control truck.
