That is true for the torque curve. The bsfc map however is the fuel needed per power unit for various throttle settings (load settings) at any given rpm. And since you have torque and rpm you can reverse engineer the power output at any point and predict (though coarsely) the fuel consumption at that rpm and load. The target oval would probably be centered on the torque curve if it were not for computer enrichment is my guess.
P.S. post your matlab thingy noe, I want to see if Octave can read it or not.
