however... for top speed.... if NOT drag limited... more gears = higher speed = less gas at same speed
you see what im saying?

and also for your theory... imagine 2 f1 cars side by side...ANY RACE... drag curcuit, drift for all i care... give one a 5 speed and one a 6 speed ... while keeping the same max speed... and the 6 will win because higher torque capacity same rev range more gears...
