Default Elon Musk: SpaceX Testing New Reusable Rockets

"In terms of new innovations, Musk said
SpaceX is testing of new rockets that
would be reusable. That would provide a
massive hundred-fold decrease in the
cost of space flight. Fuel and oxygen is
only 0.3% of the cost of a rocket. With
reusable rockets, space travel could be
easier to attain for more people, he said'."

Anyone know if they've used the same engine on all these tests to
test engine reusability?
