The company originally described the system in a 2010 SAE paper (2010-01-1222) and at the 2010 World Congress. Although this reduces the window of operation and fuel economy benefit to 2-4%, it also eliminates vehicle adaptation cost. Total cost of implementation is much less than $10/1%, he said. and Sisson, J.
