Default myth or truth???

ive been told before and again last night from a taxi driver, that its better to leave your car in 'power' because its better for the gear box and fuel economy.especially when putting around town. has anybody heard of this?
Personally i would tend to agree with the fuel economy being better in 'power' because the gears hold out longer and the engine kicks back into third instead of lugging around in 4th.

What do you guys think???
