Detailed guidelines for fuel consumption?

I was thinking that "300% fuel consumption at 0% throttle (0% speed), 100% fuel consumption at 50% throttle (70% speed), 300% fuel consumption at 100% throttle (100% speed), and quadratic interpolation of fuel consumption based on throttle between those values" is a reasonably simple solution that conforms with the rules quoted above (yielding maximum fuel economy around 40% throttle and 60% speed). |

Re: Detailed guidelines for fuel consumption?
Such detailed things are really not possible to give in a realistic manner in any short space and are thus not really suitable for anything short of engineering books.
The most detailed rules in GURPS are in the long term travel speed box in WWII a world ablaze page 148 that gives 4 levels of fuel consumption and corresponding speeds for ground/air and water vehicles. But even that is low detail with 8 total values representing all types of vehicles and speeds. |
