that's faulty logic. . .

the torque/power created go 20 Mph over flat land cannot maintain speed when climbing a hill, because more torque/power is needed to over come the additional gravitational pull. More torque/power is needed than the engine can provide.

simple. .

the governor on a gas engine is not the same as auto pilot on a car, where the computer uses the speedometer to increase or decrease power to maintain a constant speed. .
