Tony, I have thought about the graph. So the dashed line reflects the car with standard gearing and aero drag. If the gearing were made taller for less RPM/road speed then it (the dashed line) would be pushed to the left and closer to the peak efficiency?
Looking careful at the graph, if I was to drop 300 rpm 2500 to 2200 I might move from 300g/kwh to 280 g/kwh?
