I've said all along that I'd gladly give a gear up to make 6th lower rpm. That being said, I don't think I'd have the torque at 1800 that I have at say 2400 to be able to overcome drag at the speeds I run on the highway unless I had way more aero mods. Once I'm over 60 mph its very difficult to get decent mileage on level ground. For its size the engine makes a lot of torque in the 15-2500 range its just so miserly for the vehicle that its in that its difficult to appreciate it.
