Have to keep these things in context.

I have just read couple more ariticles on BSFC and my head has a hole in it resulting from my mind being blown.
Are you telling me that, if I have a gauge that instantly reports MPG, the reading will be higher for faster acceleration. So the more I step onto it the MPG will raise until passing 80% load roughly and MPG will drop again???
This is so counter intuitive when cars like CIVIC has a guage which goes from green to RED when you accelerated harder and harder.
