Unless the LD's are radically different than any other diesel, all the
curves I have seen of fuel consumption v.s. speed show max efficiency (i.e.
lowest fuel consumption) occuring at the peak torque point which is
typically about half of the engines max rpm. It would be nice to see actual
test data for these engines however.
