    My limited experience is that the results are not interpolated for the
    number of hours i.e if you have one done at 50 hours and then another at
    100 hours it would say that it is twice as bad as the previous sample.
    Thus have your analysis done at regular intervals - one can argue whether
    that is hours or gallons of fuel burned.

    I am in British Columbia and the cost is ~ C$ `18.00 - do we really have
    something cheaper than south of the 49 ?
