I have a question that i have been pondering the answer too for years and maybe one of the bright minds on here will have an answer.
Its regarding fuel consumption and which driving style is best for it. There are two scenarios which i will list below.
1. Driving up a hill and maintaining (hypothetically) 30mph (or any constant speed). You use a low gear, say 2nd, and need 1/4 throttle to maintain the climb at a the given speed.
2. Driving up the same hill and maintaining the same speed as in scenario 1. You use a higher gear gear, say 3rd, but now you need 1/2 throttle to maintain the same speed.
Which is more fuel efficient??
