i seem to get conflicting answers on this from different people. fuel is consumed when it is injected into the chambers for combustion... effectively turning the crank ... hence gas consumption is a direct function of RPM... correct?
so let's say you're hanging around 30mph, you be burning less gas mashing the throttle in 5th gear @ 2000rpm as opposed to light throttle in 3rd gear @ 4000rpm... correct?
(those are arbitrary number, and assume that you're accelerating very slowly in 5th because of lower gear and etc...)
