Which outcome reduces efficiency when an internal combustion engine operates far from optimum torque/RPM in short driving cycles?

💡 Explanation

Increased pumping losses reduce efficiency at low loads because throttling increases intake manifold vacuum, decreasing pressure differential during intake; therefore extra energy is wasted during each cycle operating at reduced power output rather than efficient power extraction at rated point.
