if you have a modern car then look at what revs your doing at 110km/h in your overdrive gear and thats is the revs at which your engine runs best for fuel consumption.

Surely this isn't correct for all cars?
They would have to be lowering the best fuel consumption to a lower speed on cars like echo's and corrola's as the majority of them are used in urban areas where the maximum speed reached is about 90km/h.
Mabye a Camry or other family sized car would be optimised for 110 but its seems a bit silly for a city car to be.
