Driving too slow can be as ineffcient as driving too fast. You need high as possible road speed for the slowest possible engine speed. With the current residential limit of 50km/h, none of my cars are really happy in top gear. It's also too slow for DFCO to kick in for many vehicles (eg my Van 60km/h [2000rpm] in fifth, the Jeep needs about 100km/h [2000rpm] to DFCO in sixth).
My Fiat is already a 2 cylinder :P
