The lower fuel consumption map is for a Mercedes, The Focus will have a different road load. The top map is the Ztec engine. You can see why pulse and glide works, accelerate near the peak bsfc and then turn engine off. What engine speed is Aerofocus at on the highway? For the upper map brake torque times engine speed equals power, 3000 rpm at 60 Nm is the same hp as 1500 rpm at 120 Nm.
