The numbers along the lines indicate fuel consumption - grams per kWh produced - so lower numbers are better.

The vertical line is engine Torque, which relates to engine loading.

Note this BSFC map is used for acceleration only.


Good BSFC doesn't mean best fuel consumption, it just means you're producing the most HP for the fuel being used.
Usually (during constant speed driving) you don't need as much HP, the BSFC is worse, but as you only need very few HP, your fuel consumption is good.
