    Something I have never just to grips with fully.

    What does it mean when they say High Load.
    Hard acceleration?

    What does it mean when they say low Load.
    Easy accerleration?

    I would imagine that it refers to the work the engine has had to do during its lifetime (high load = lot of work) but I guess it also depends on the context of the conversation.

    Rather than change down and give it higher revs, keep it in a higher gear at lower revs but feed it plenty of juice to stop it stalling
