Not a good article

In theory this is true, but in practice the slower you turn a gasoline engine at a given speed the less gas it uses. A gasoline engine has such a large power band that overdrive is very effective as long as you are producing enough power at the rear wheels to move the car. On the other hand a Diesel has a very narrow power band and runs it’s best only in that narrow band.
As long as a engine is running it produces power, only the amount of that power varies with RPM.
This thread, so far...
