Humph,
You may be the wrong person to ask this question of. How many gears do you have on your bike?
and how many do you use most days you go out cycling?
I know I, as a "normal" local road cyclist use, at most, half of the available gears on the bike. I think, in any vehicle, there is an optimum number of gears, before the complexity and hassle outweighs the performance/economy advantages.
