The Deere engine BSFC was respectable, but class eight truck engines are now
breaking the .30 barrier. The Deere engines were probably 15% or so worse
than that at their very best.

My general rule of thumb is that rotary engines will always suffer about
15% compared to piston BSFC *for equal technology level*.
