That's not how it works Ed.
It would be better getting a number of cyclists with both carbon and steel bikes and testing their commute over a period of time. Unfortunately, making them aware they were testing carbon vs steel would lead to an effect on the results. It would be better to do a matched pair test, i.e. two riders of similar ability on two different bikes on the same commute. And then repeat this for a number of different matched pairs.
