And this strategy works well for many people. My 125 is a good example, it is plenty fast around town, but can barely hold 55mph. When I do go 55, I am going to be there for a while, so more time at higher efficiency traded for a brief reduced efficiency rev. The alternatives are costly and less efficient.
