Brock, could that be a gas/diesel difference?
With a diesel's much flatter torque curve (and presumably far "broader" BSFC map), and lack of throttling losses (one of the things the relatively inefficient gassers overcome with this driving style that get them into a friendlier BSFC zone), I'd expect to see little or no gain driving an oil burner like this.
Can you comment on the benefit (or lack thereof) of doing P&G in a diesel? I suspect if there is any, it's much less pronounced than in a gasoline car.
