pgfpro, I don't know for certain the BSFC chart you offer should be thought of as representative. I think different gasoline cars can be quite different. Take these two for example, posted by betasniper and ever green in the http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tml#post397134 thread:

Toyota/Lexus 2GR-FSE




In this second one it looks as if 80% engine load may get you into the "sweet spot" at 1500 rpm.

Cars vary.

I agree with what your saying. The charts you gave are not plotted low enough power wise for what I want to talk about. I will have to start another thread. Also it will be much much more involved.
