That seems counter to most of my understanding, 100% load should mean full throttle and thus full fuel use.

I am aware of the so called advantages of the diesel but feel it is somewhat off set by the not so much better gas mileage and much higher repair costs.

I believe the much higher compression rations really help them make torque and low RPMs.

I also believe the caming and low RPMs power curve is also a major reason for that.

I think I can get much of that advantage with my engine.
