So... A MPGvT map? Just pick a gear and a range of power outputs needed. For instance I used a 5% grade on either end, and then just convert (V*(Fuel weight in grams/(P*Fc))) the fuel consumption figures to mileage in a grid. Something like the attached graph, except, you know, good.
W/o a BSFC map, as was mentioned earlier I imagine we could make the same thing if we could log mileage, speed, and throttle in order to calculate a MPGvT graph for a specific gear. Or better yet...To make things easier, we could just record the values and pick the lows/highs in order to get a feel for the extremes.
