Ahhh, OK. Then...you don't have to run all the test back-to-back...you just need to find a road (or roads) that you can maintain the speed for the time interval listed in the "FTP OBD Drive Cycle Chart".

For example the first two might be able to be accomplished in your driveway/garage...then down your street out of your addition or on your way to a stretch of road where you can perform Test 3. Then Test 3 & 4 could possible be done on a lonely country road or interstate highway where you won't have to rev the engine past 3K RPM...then 4 can be accomplished after coming off an interstate ramp...pulling off to the side of the road or into a parking lot.
