[QUOTE="Aasland, post: 1145501, member: 14773"] I seem to recall a Kevin Cameron column in Cycle World a few years back, relating to MPG and gearing changes. His take on it was the the MPG was more influenced by wind resistance than gearing changes. Something about the same amount of energy is needed to overcome wind resistance regardless of the engine RPM; it's just that at some RPM's the engine is more efficient at that. [/QUOTE]
