Where Does All the Energy Go?
Energy Map Within A Vehicle
5% of energy input is consumed by internal friction
8 ‐ 9% of energy input can be affected by fuel and lubricant additives
4% of energy input is consumed by driveline friction

Adding the Fuel Benefit to the Drivetrain Improvements*
*Assumes the effect is independent
If the fuel effect is added to the other drivetrain fluids the
improvement would be 8.0%
