James--you are missing the whole point. An unthrottled engine, such as a
diesel, at a constant speed is one thing. The biggest loss with a throttled
engine is the pumping losses--so at light loads you would need to lug the
engine down far enough to get only the output needed at WOT. The control
problem is not so simple as holding a constant engine speed, even with a
continuously variable tranny.
