Or a battery.
Or a spring
Or a tank of hot air
Or pushing a rock up the side of a mountain

Somewhere near the bottom of my Insight to-do list is to buy some dyno time and try to measure lean burn BSFC.

The lean burn version is already in the wiki at it's at ~40% efficiency give or take. To edit the wiki just click on the edit tab (top of the page) and follow the formatting of the other entries.

But the other entries have a [image:foo.jpg] entry, and I can't find the button for uploading a .jpg to be embedded in the wiki.

Just use the one you uploaded in the post you linked earlier, Insight5mtBSFC.jpg or whatever it was called.
