well, the question is what hp does it put out at bsfc peak. My 250 is rated at 25hp peak, so maybe 1/3 of that at bsfc peak, don't know fer sure of course.

And yes velocity is important, but I am just thinking of a course like the epa test circuit for now for mpg guesses, with a hypermiler at the wheel.
