Hello -

I keep seeing the "Engine Torque (NM)" in the vertical axis of the BSFC charts. Also, from the OBDII specification, I have access to the engine load value (the LOD parameter in the Scangauge).

Question: Can I derive the Engine Torque in NM (nanometers CORRECTION: Newton meters) from the OBDII LOD parameter?

If I can, and I know the BSFC for my engine (I do), then I should be able to figure out my approximate fuel consumption in real time.
