Sure! Here's the list with the gaps between each number and the next number printed one result per line:

81.2 - Gap: 1.7 - Next number: 82.9
85.2 - Gap: 1.7 - Next number: 86.9
89.7 - Gap: 1.8 - Next number: 91.5 [[notice this is out of order]]
96.7 - Gap: 1.6 - Next number: 97.3 [[math fail, is gap 0.6]]
97.3 - Gap: 1.6 - Next number: 98.9
62.6 - Gap: 1.5 - Next number: 63.7 [[false math, gap 1.1]]
64.3 - Gap: 1.5 - Next number: 65.8
