Why rolling resistance increases with the speed?

edit:
Here is something that is in Wikipedia about diesel engines:
Quote:
For any given partial load the fuel efficiency (mass burned per energy produced) of a diesel engine remains nearly constant, as opposed to petrol and turbine engines which use proportionally more fuel with partial power outputs
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_engine

If that is so, then there is no point of using high load with my old mechanical diesel.
