I'm trying to get to that stage myself.



Btw, the Ford Fusion hybrid has no reverse gear, just electric reverse.

I can't remember the last time I used 4th gear on my car. When I'm PHEV'ing, I skip 2nd as well. It feels like I have enough torque to do a clutchless 3rd gear launch, if I had the right software, which would give me a 3-5 shift.

Yup, I could picture a really efficient car with a two speed tranny and no reverse gear.
