Could one of you who knows what you're talking about maybe enter a little more about what BSFC is onto the ecomodder wiki entry, for us that don't have a clue about physics/mechanics?

This sounds like a pretty important concept to learn


edit: never mind, i just looked at wikipedia
edit again: just read the article, have not a clue what it means
edit #3: great article here
