well, he did start getting those numbers AFTER hanging out here for a while

Was looking at similiar hondas, looks like palemalasian shoud get a mention


though, I'm not sure I buy that lean burn = "great bsfc", it detunes the engine, but the engine is still moving more air than necessary for the job of maintaining a constant speed.

nor do I quite buy that accelerating dramatically changes the topography of the bsfc map, and not just the numbers on the lines.

A smaller engine is indeed the correct answer for most efficient cruising, but I would never expect someone who puts as much emphasis on power as Ben Strader to ever recommend such action
