In fifth gear at 80mph, each of the three cars we're currently running uses less than twice the fuel needed to drive at 40mph. Doesn't that mean that each is more efficient at the higher speed?
There is presumably a 'sweet spot'. I don't know where it is per vehicle, but it isn't 60mph.

The "sweet spot" seems to vary by vehicle and is best found by experimentation in the individual vehicles.

Yes if that move means we are not using tose resources to the maximum efficiency and given most cars designed over the past 30 years or so were designed to be most efficient at motorway speeds, i don't see that it will extend the time of using a finite resource.
