Ok. Which is achieved with the gear chosen so the engine at its maximum
power, not maximum torque.

You should join Turnip in some basic mechanical theory lessons.

The weird thing is you've just agreed with my statement in your previous
post.

At a given road speed, the maximum rate of change of road speed will
be achieved at the engine's maximum power point. The necessary gear
ratio to achieve this will be determined by the chosen road speed
and the engine's maximum power speed.

is a longer way of saying what I've just said, and you replied saying "Yes".

Why agree with one yet disagree with the other?
