People just don't get it. I managed to pass several of those people as they were stopped at some of those lights today without ever even slowing below 2nd gear speed myself by simply taking stock of the situation and choosing the correct lane. Pretty funny, really.
that's because most people are fucking retarded... accelerate to a stop... and people wonder why they spend so much on gas..
as for your thoughts, yes, the motor is more efficient near its peak power.... so yeah, you should be getting as much mileage
