Why do ?

Rolling roads run cars in different gears??

And why would car which runs fine on the open road be rich on the rollers??

The idea is to get the drive as close as 1:1 as possible which is ussually 4th gear.

It may run rich as it is not getting the air it would driving around and the cooling effects are greater on the road.

Where would be the fun in that? How would we argue about it later if they were all the same?

Wonder if the ASS dyno would have to get ISO accreditation too?
