I always thought 100% = 100% or the engine is working as hard as it can.....

I'm no expert on how manufacturers calculate engine load, but appears that there is no standard. On my Ford for example I could not get close to 100% until I did quite a bit of hp mods. On some cars, like my neighbors Malibu, you can hit 100% at 75% throttle on a stock motor.

Generally speaking, engine load is used in 2D and 3D fueling and timing maps as an indication that the car is making max power at a given condition.
