Yes that is true........
By Ed Jenkins - 10/21/2003 11:10:13 PM; IP 12.215.50.36
Yes, that is true to an extent....

In gernal small gasoline engines make their power at high RPM's. So for the fuel consumption numbers and the effecency to be at their peak on the highway a higher
(RPM wise) final drive must be utilized.....

But larger gas engines have a more broad power band.... fuel injection has helped immensly with this even on small engines...

It also depends on the areodynamics and intened use of the vehicle, As poor areodynamics and a heavy load will require the engine to work harder (less milage) and in some cases the lower gears will help the engine.

I'm done..........
