Maybe another topic of fuel usage

I know we get information of fuel usage described by not known to me information of "g/kWh".
Really... I am noob to this and... just Automation is a friendly tool of my imaginations when sleeping.

So... what would be usefull for me:

After testing the engine work... add information of average fuel usage in city/mixed/... (L/100km) per for example 1'000 kg of body weight. Or something like this. Additional... couse that g/kWH is not known to 99,99% users.

That is just how efficiently the engine burns gasoline. You cannot calculate the fuel economy of an engine itself for obvious reasons. Once placed in a car, you can see the l/100 or MPG, whatever you prefer.

Yes, for IRL technical reasons, there is NO WAY we or anyone for that matter could provide any reasonable fuel economy estimate. It is physically not possible.
Engine efficiency is the closest thing to fuel economy that comes out of the dyno test. g/kWh is inverse efficiency and is the unit that is used technically. We have the efficiency percentage there as well for people to have something easier to grasp. :)
