I am learning a lot of new things in my job lately. The method for learning is not to pick something up without a clue and try to use it, and then have experienced people explain everything and try to cope with it. The method is to first watch experienced people doing their thing, and then try to mimic what you have observed. Then they give feedback on the tiny things you still need to learn. A picture is worth a thousand words they say so I hope to find a video of someone else driving a standard for good fuel efficiency before I would post my own attempt.

I saw the BSFC chart but had trouble trying to interpret it. Where do I want to be on the graph??? The bottom line (lowest fuel efficiency) always correlates with the lowest load, or is it torque? How does the load on my car vary when driving on a level surface? How do you determine what gear to be in by looking at this graph? Any insight would be nice.
