longer first and second speed means shorter remaning speeds, consumes should not have changed so much. Hearing engine noise in 2017 onboard videos, cadillac's were using sixth speed in long straight like road america, so it wasn't like audi in 2016 whit so long gears that sixth gear has been used only at le mans. Basically if the car upshifted to third at about 180-200km/h, between that speed and about 270-280km/h there were extra short 3rd, 4th and 5th in the middle.
