And if this is higher then top speed of the car, does this mean that the car will always do full throttle in that calculation. In that case a car that can't reach highway speeds has a very high fuel consumption and I have to focus more on increasing the top speed then on getting a low BSFC for the engine.
In 1.17, we take an optimal fuel mileage, then using gearing information adjust the higher end of the formula. Normally 10-30% higher than that "optimal" rating.
This system has been redesigned in 1.17.5, in 1.17.5 we calculate the rolling resistance of the vehicle at highway speeds 100km/h, figure out how much power you need to move it, and compare it to RPMs and factor in your gearing. We do similar things for acceleration, put the two numbers together and output a single combined mileage number instead of 2 numbers. In 1.17.5 if your vehicle does not reach those speeds, you'll be running at full throttle which will lower your numbers.
