Having been driving from the age of 17 to 73 I have found that older cars (those designed up to the mid 1960) go up hills in higher gears then new moderns. Is this due to less gears so therefore the ratios are covered by 3 or 4 gears unlike models where it is spread over 5 or 6. Or could it be that older cars were designed with longer stroke engines giving more torque.
