An internal combustion engine control system including a continuously variable speed transmission at its lowest ratio when it rests, and increasing in ratio responsive to increases in transmission output, transmission output speed responsive means to adjust transmission ratios at a fixed throttle setting, the entire relationship between transmission output speed, the means responsive thereto to vary the transmission ratio and the throttle setting being such as to cause the engine to "lug" continuously at relatively low engine speeds in comparison with the normal currently recommended and used engine RPM vs. torque relationship. The term "lug" is herein used to describe the lowest engine speed at a given torque load which will provide acceptably smooth operation.
