Mass fuel efficiency and engine power

Some fuel metrics tie how much fuel is burned to how much power the engine produces. That is useful when you compare engines of different sizes: a big engine might burn more fuel total but still be efficient per unit of power.

Brake-specific fuel consumption (often called BSFC in datasheets) is one name for this idea. Lower values mean less fuel is needed for each unit of mechanical power over a period of time—similar to saying "more miles per gallon" but normalized for power instead of distance.

You will see grams per kilowatt-hour in many metric engine maps and pounds per horsepower-hour in older US technical literature. They describe the same kind of thing with different unit traditions; this converter helps you read both without manual factor lookup.

For fuel economy by distance (miles per gallon style), use the fuel consumption converter or volume fuel efficiency converter.
