Yeah, that makes sense... but the loss of power was very significant.  For
example, the loss of power in other vehicles like my jeep is negligible if
even noticeable for the same drive.

Note: On a gradual incline at altitude I was in second gear and slowing (<
23 mph).  At sea level on the same incline I could easily accelerate in 3rd
and probably maintain in 4th (> 40mph).

Thanks for the response!
