Be it a combustion engine, or a person on a bike.

Yeah sure. Just like a one speed gokart is the same as a range rover is the same as a vespa is the same as a moped going up mount everest or down 3rd street SF.
There are tons of factors that play into this and you're just over-simplifying. Just because the bike has gears, does not mean it will be less tiring.
For the OP, I'd suggest a single speed, 65gi, 700x25, steel...
But he really just wants a bike with white DV's so none of this matters.
