> Gears multiply (increase or decrease) power from the engine Ah, so when you want a lot of power - such as to tow something heavy - you'd want a high gear for high power, right? But fuel consumption will be highest in 6th gear, because more power means more power consumption - I'll save money by using a lower gear, yes? /s Honestly I'm not sure how people who've never learned about gear ratios understand this stuff. Maybe a combination of "have you ever ridden a bike? It's like that" and "always pull away in first gear" and "when the engine makes a vreeeee sound change up, when it makes a wubwubwub sound change down." |
