I'm not saying that I think the maps are meaningless, but I'm not certain how precisely they predict what we'll see on the road. For that you'll need well-calibrated gauges in your car.

Your one step a ahead of me.
This is what I want to talk about in another thread. Dyno built BSFC maps verses road fuel usages with power output maps or optimum load shift points.
With today's ability to monitor data and collect in logs, I think we could have a great discussion about the vehicles we drive. I would also like to give praise to all the people taking advantage of utilizing load when up shifting thru the gears on this forum. The numbers don't lie and a lot of you are already increased fuel efficiency.
