Not according to that graph. That graph says that at 1500 rpm and a higher thottle position than your 1000rpm point, you will be using less fuel. Otherwise, I need these charts better explained to me.
EDIT: OOOOHHHHH... nevermind!!! I didn't realize it was per kW.H. I thought it was per hour. Nevermind. I understand now why the idea was as stupid as i first though it was. So this tells me that hard accel in that sweet spot may not be the most efficient. I want to see fuel per hour islands for tp vs. tq.
