I don't claim to be a master of internal combustion engine wisdom, but coming from an expedition vehicle background the rule of thumb has always been to gear (axles) and/or shift (manual trans) so your most frequent travel speed coincides with the torque peak RPM of your engine. Fuel efficiency for expedition vehicles is important, not as much for financial reasons but because of the distance that may exist between fuel stations.
