I was looking for a BSFC chart for my 2003 Fabia 1.2 12v. I found one for its 6v sibling, but only for wide open throttle:
http://agronomy.emu.ee/vol122/2014_2_1_b5.pdf

First, I have some reservation for the data. There's a summary table that shows specific fuel consumption to be 274 g/kWh. But at which point? According to the chart, the lowest point is ~250. The point of max torque is ~260 and the point of max power is near 400.
Second, their engine made 13.5% more power than advertised.
Anyway, is the chart at least somewhat relevant for me?
Any suggestion as to what to expect at less than WOT?
Or, maybe, just maybe, someone has seen a better chart?...
