Thanks for all that math. Which brings up my point about these "wonderful" 6-speed transmissions we have these days: They added more overdrive gears for better mileage when empty and more gear choices for mild loads & hills but when really pulling hard with a gas engine you're back to the 2nd and 3rd gears of yesteryear. So the rear axle ratio still matters for specific situations where you're stuck between those gears. Maybe the 2-3 gap is narrower? I say bring on the 8 or 10 speeds!
