I did not relize that the curve accross the color-coded fuel consumption zones was also data (a torque curve). Great write-up. The graph would be even clearer if there were a couple load curves overlaid on it and the BMEP numbers were labelled simply torque. And this means that in the previous graph you described, for your engine, in post #8 above, that the thick and angukar black line crossing the fuel consumption zones near the top is also your torque "curve," correct? Makes much better sense to me. I hope the OP fully gets it too for his "noob" question about P&G. Thanks!

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
