I'm not trying to start an argument with you, but that is not
always the case.
The point I was trying to make is that if the ultimate goal is to accelerate from 30-40MPH and at full throttle that would take 15 second in 6th gear at 2000-2300RPM, but at half throttle that would take 4 seconds in 3rd gear at 4000-4500RPM, less fuel would be used in the latter.
The above numbers are arbitrary, I didn't look up SER acceleration rates or gear ratios to determine exact figures.
