Yea, too bad just about no cars have electric drive :/ I like Toyota HSD (if the throttle response could be sharpened and the traction control removed that would be fantastic) but I like having a stick and 3 pedals. I think mild hybrid tech can make the situation slightly better by charging up the battery when you're going slowly.
About the rpms, I dunno. My flywheel is heavy for the mass of my car, and revving the engine feels like it's using quite a bit of gas as I have to really stab the throttle to get it to go. I imagine that adds up.
