[Diy_efi] Intro, and q's about fuel economy

[bill.shurvinton at nokia.com]

The curtis-wright/john deere stratified charge turbo rotaries ran around =
0.4 BSFC. Never caught on though. They are still hawked due to their =
ability to run on almost any fuel so perfect for all that gas that is =
usually just burned off in a plume.

Values and applications examples:

lb per HP	Application
.3		Aviation ICE (static loads for long periods)
.45-.5		NA ICE (Naturally aspirated)
.6		Forced induction (turbo, supercharger) ICE
.7-.8		Wankel (rotary) engines IIRC
.9		2-stroke ICE engines

I don't have any BSFC numbers for Diesel or Turbine engines.  Turbines =
are higher
and Diesels are lower, both inherent to design and fuel.  Turbines run =
on a Kerosene
like fuel, thinner then Diesel but similar properties.
