I didn't say that. You did.
the graph shows a CURVE. this means it changes depending on different conditions.

Further, never does the curve he shows get near 17 to 1 - max is about 16.6 to one.

Further, the book was written back in 60's before Lean Burn was used much. Lean burn gets you down 20:1 range, and is even more efficient.

Have a great day !
