The "sweet spot " idea is over rated in my opinion. I understand "torque curve" but I don't think it's necessary for the motor to be developing maximum torque just cruising down the road. It makes more sense for racing or pulling tough grades. And I doubt best MPG will be obtained at an RPM high enough for max torque but rather at lowest RPM possible without causing downshift. You could cruise along at 65 and convince yourself that's the sweet spot but slow down to 55 or 60 and it will cruise along just as well. Since I'm not an expert I would like to hear from some automotive engineers on this topic.
