Thanks redpoint, I'm thinking that I'm just over thinking things. We don't have many hills here in Delaware. In fact, I think that bridges and overpasses are the biggest hills in the area. I don't think I have much to worry about but 1 bridge I use to get to New Jersey may be worth trying out this 80% load climb as it's a long, steep-ish climb up...
Focus-Ak, I keep searching hoping to find a Duratec BSFC chart and keep coming up with nothing...so annoying
