... turbocharged engines operating C in the CAFE drive cycles was estimated to be 1.5:1. on 91 RON gasoline compared to European engines The increase in pressure of 50 kPa (above 100 kPa atmospheric pressure)

Conclusion: Spark retard to avoid knock at some condi ditions, spark must be retarded, according to the tions on the CAFE drive cycles will result in approxi RON/spark retard criteria shown above: mately 6 percent increase in fuel consumption at those conditions and an estimated 0.25 percent increase in Spark Retard = 15 degrees from MBT (minimum fuel consumption on the CAFE drive cycles.
