First gear is for starting out from a stop when going up a hill or towing a heavy load. The engine will have high RPMs (revolutions per minute), but your vehicle will move slowly. Poor gas mileage but lots of power. It is also good for holding you back if headed downhill on a long steep grade. You will not need to use the breaks nearly as much.

Is there an actual fuel efficient car?

If I am understanding your question, you mean you have buttons labeled 1,2,3 on your transmission control ( you have an automatic transmission). This goes back to the old style manual transmissions, where they originally had what was known as first, second and third. With the help of the clutch, it was to get the vehicle moving (first) , then to get it up to cruising speed (second) and finally cruising speed (third). Your power button is probably used to automatically downshift to second to give you additional power on hills or if you are towing an additional load

What car tax band is my car in?

You can pick your gears and save your transmission. For example, if you do something like deliver newspapers, you would put it in 1st to keep it from shifting unneccesarily. Or if you are having trouble gaining traction on snow and ice, put it in 2nd . This applies less torque to the drive wheels on takeoff, resulting in less wheel spin.
