or continuously variable VVTi-L.
or use a motor that is tuned for a very specific rpm to turn sayyyy.... an electric generator, and then that power is transferred to eletric motors that drive the wheels and batteries to store power so you don't need to run the petrol motor as much....
and how about we call it a Prius
there have been continuously variable gearboxes made.. i remember seeing a Honda one at some stage (and someone else will remember what it actually was), btu the limiting factor will be the amount of power such a variable gearbox can take..
or you could use an auto gearbox, and use an electronically controlled torque convertor to keep the engine in a specific rpm range perhaps?

This is not a new idea. Those huge HUGE mining trucks use a large diesel (I think) motor to turn a generator and they have an electric motor for each wheel. This way they get the best fuel economy, and can you imagine making a drive train (geabox, diff and tailshaft) for one of those things.
