What he means by "gears use more fuel at any speed" is that if you change the final drive gearing higher for better acceleration your fuel mileage will go down. That's why its under mods.

the highway, people are hauling @$$ on the highways in CT (65 mph speed limit), they just figure out the places, in my area police get very spotty so they figure out where to slow and where not to, 80 mph isn't that fast on the highways in my area. ive seen 80 mph on main roads too, 65 is more common though, still kinda above the posted 45
