I understand that, but in the example you gave of your boat you were dropping your rpm by a third. With our engines, dropping our rpm by the same ratio would give us just over 1,000 rpm which is too slow to achieve proper operating temperature. So the point is that adding or decreasing power while staying in the proper operating rpm band for our engines isn't going to change the fuel consumption by enough for us to care about.
To stay in the best rpm range for the FL120, from our cruising rpm of 1700 we can back off a whopping 200 rpm or add an even more staggering 100 rpm.
What I guess that says is that you have much more flexible and versatile engines than we do.
