<my opinion>The 3rd gear to 1st gear comparison. 3rd gear will use more fuel.
When I had my turbo on, it wouldn't boost in neutral, and wouldn't have much boost 1st. That was because there was no load, and not as much airflow as when it was in 3rd gear. When there is more load, the engine will put more fuel (and air) in. Regardless of throttle position.
</my opinion>
Thinking about it again now, its all BS as it can't be relative to anything.
Driving in a higher gear when possible will use less fuel.
