I'm not sure what ideal load is if 100% load is stoichiometric, but I'm guessing probably 80-90 :O I know peak BSFC of this engine is pretty ****ty at full load (I think in the 260s g/kwh) according to the Toyota development paper, which is what leads me to think that.
actually 260g/kw/h or 0.4 lbs/hp/h is pretty good. typical petrol engines have 0.5 sfc. i haven't seen much cars with better than 0.4lbs/hp/h except the new turbo diesels.
