Im a novice to the workings of the inside of the car but that is the theory that my brain came up with no idea if thats how it works.

Does the same ammount of gas get used to create all this power? If it does, doesnt that mean the engine is more efficient? then giving him better MPG?
RPM at speed is a factor of gearing, not power.
