Everyone is talking about CVTs and whatever but I think you're all missing the elephant in the room. Cruising 0.6 miles at 65mph takes WAY more energy and that's not negligible. Someone on Spyderchat did a test with different shift points and a 2ZZ-GE engine and concluded that the slowest acceleration uses the least fuel as well, but that is hardly an indicator of what engine load is most efficient.
