No .. as I already wrote ... Peak BSFC and EOC are mutually exclusive .. Hybrid or not .. it is not possible to do both at the same time.

% load is not % of peak BSFC ... there are parts of the BSFC that a higher % load is LESS energy efficient ... look at the BSFC for your ICE... or you can also see this in the BSFC I already posted.
The goal is for highest average ICE operating efficiency ... not highest average load.

I dare say that if this engine were simply slotted into an aerodynamic light weight Insight body, it would return numbers in the 70's.

Got a BSFC for that ICE ??
For me ... That's the important data... as far as weather such a swap would be a MPG pro or con.

Glad to hear it.
