As many people already know, the design is in pursuit of fuel economy, but instead of saving a dime by simply using shorter gear ratios, they go ahead and build a transmission with more gears. I don't really get it either.
If transmissions continue to evolve this way, soon we'll have cars that have more gears than a semi truck
