Hi abogart,
Excellent post, but a clarification:

As far as the compression discussion is concerned, I'm no expert, but my normally aspirated gasoline engine gives me more miles per gallon accelerating at only 75% load than at 100% load.

I don't know if you mean 75% of full throttle at high rpm or wot at 75% of red line or something else. It's very likely that the engine is most efficient near wot and very near the rpm for peak torque.
