I suspect you know that finding BSFC maps for most cars is impossible. While absolute lowest g/kwh is usually only a very small area of the map, it's usually accompanied by a very large area either side where economy only drops by a few g/kwh. It's fairly easy to find your BSFC sweet spot with an MPGuino or equivalent. You will actually see a dip at BSFC, fuel use will be higher and lower in the torque/rpm/load map. Having a supplied graph is nice, but it's not that hard to do for yourself.
