Thanks Daox, very interesting. I wasn't familiar with BSFC maps but looked around and found this one here that probably pretty close to my TDI:

I'm struggling a bit to fully wrap my head around what the implications of these maps are for actual driving tactics. I keep trying to come up with a scenario that properly explains the way this translates to shift points, acceleration, hills, etc, but then I get tripped up. Would somebody be willing to elucidate? Thanks!
