The black curve I drew there represents the load curve in 5th gear. Why is it that at 5500 rpm(160kph), I have a lesser fuel consumption(270g/kWh) than at 4000 rpm(280g/kWh)?
Intuitively,if I produce more power at 180kph(ie 5500rpm),I should consume more fuel,right? But,this is not the case here.Why?
