Ah OK.
I don't know either, but it seems pretty accurate to me.
It maxes out @ 98% , and although I can still push the accelerator deeper, it won't make the car accelerate any faster.
From Priuschat :
Calculated Engine Load
California Air Resource Board defines this as airflow divided by peak air flow. Peak air flow may be adjusted for altitude via barometric means if available.
For diesel engines, the number is current output torque divided by peak output torque at current rpm. We have noted that vacuum leaks can have dramatic effects on this value.
Also found this :
Calculated Engine Load = Intake Manifold Pressure ? - Honda-Tech
I doubt if that'll work out well on a diesel though.
