Really? Pardon me for not doing my research, but doesn't the MPGuino have access to RPM and fuel injector pulse widths? If you also had access to the LOD parameter from the OBDII port, I think you'd have all the parts needed to make a BSFC map, right?

Maybe the map would be all over the place, but once you've gathered enough data, couldn't you derive a decent "real world" BSFC map? Also, it doesn't matter what the pure fuel consumption is, only the relative number, right?!?!?!
