Do you want the answers in g/kWh or lbs/HPhr.  ?
I would consider something around 0.350lbs/HPhr. (roughly 213g/kWh) for peak BSFC good as long as it stretches over more than 200RPM. Average BSFC for a good engine should be <0.480lbs/HPhr. (292g/kWh).
As for best BSFC figure for petrol automotive engine I haven't been able to find any definitive answers... It seems that it is possible to achieve just under 0.300lbs./HPhr (182g/kWh).
Due to you asking this question can I assume that some BSFC data for the revetec will be released soon?
