Fuel consumption - is this true?
I am told that the most fuel efficient way of driving in any gear is to drive at or nearest to the peak torque rpm for the engine, is this true? If not what is the peak torque rpm best used for?

No. Drive below the peak torque rpm and never above.
Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
