I'd be very uneasy to run my car in 5th at like 30mph. I wouldn't want to strain the engine.

Depending on the idiot in front of me, I'll either be in 3rd at 30mph for quick defense / offense, or 4th if I'm fairly confident of their driving skills. Same goes for other cruising speeds. I keep it at 3,000rpms or 2,500. I don't use 6th until I reach at least 50.

I usually keep it at 3000 - 3500 at all times. I don't go into 6th gear unless I reach 65+, pretty much only 6th gear only on the highways
