I agree Frank, Totally agree.

Point is instead of choking out some of the torque as pumping losses we use it to propel so we go x+1 speed. So we get there slightly faster(we didn't use anymore fuel just used less fuel to rotate the pistons around and therefore more fuel went to the road) which means the engine doesn't run quite as long.
