Question Scientific question about gas consumption.

Wither it's a car or a bike, they both use gas. I drive both, one being a gas hog, and the other not. I've asked this question many times in my head, each answer proving to some way be right, and others way wrong. It just doesn't make sense to me though. It's such a stupid question, that I can't even figure out the real answer.


Now, which action takes more gas?
-Driving in a high gear, but giving the engine full throttle?
-Driving in a low gear, but giving the engine little throttle, resulting in high RPM's.


So which burns more gas? Pedal to the floor, or high RPM's?

Which octane burns quicker? 87 or 93? I'm assuming it is 93 due to more combustion in the engine, but I have heard many times that you will get more gas milage out of 93, over 87..
