Variable displacement pumps vary BOTH sides of the math, volume and pressure.
And a couple hundred watts over a couple hundred thousand miles, for a couple of bucks per car research and investment...you can do the math (I'm sure)...
I sure wouldn't want to work for someone who's never wrong.
Go find your calculation on total oil pump horsepower requirement. Then find the measured number in the last research paper you PM'd me. I let it go before because we'd been getting along good. Might as well have it out now.
