Is my guess right that the best fuel economy in any gear would be cruising at a constant speed at exactly the peak of the torque curve (2600rpm in the case of the stock 2.9)? What if I was slightly below the peak, say, 2200 rpm? Would the difference in air resistance make this a moot point?
My motivation for this question is choosing between higher rpms (4rth gear nearing 3000) at 90km/h vs lower rpms (5th gear, 2200 rpm (ish, I don't have the exact numbers for either)) at the same speed.
also, anyone have a torque curve for a stock 2.9L?
