As far as the amount of energy required to raise a truck/trailer/load up 200 feet elevation. It takes exactly the same amount of energy at 5 mph or 50 mph.
The numbers become complex as losses from friction, aerodynamic drag and braking are considered. Now figure what ground speed, engine rpm, throttle opening and where the air/fuel goes rich under high power.
As previously stated. If you want mileage, purchase a cracker box. If you want power and stability. Pay for the fuel to make and haul the capability around.
Mileage is about reducing aerodynamic drag which increases with a square to velocity. And using the brakes less. The number of people that as standard practice wail up to within 100yrds of a stop sign. Then lift the foot off the throttle and immediately heavy brake to barely stop in time. It's baffling as to why.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
