This is good and accurate advice...understanding the "torque curve" of your engine helps in performance. Driving by the tachometer and knowing the torque range will give you the best performance, best mileage and least wear-n-tear. If you change tire sizes...this will change performance. Driving "by the ear" is the worst thing you can do. As stated...the engineers program these engine and transmissions to do this for you. the more gears...the more options the engine has to work with. There are times you just need to slow down or speed up a little to "fall into the proper torque range" for conditions.
