I stick to 4 or a bit more myself, because Even while cruising I am often surrounded by traffic. At 4 I can ramp up to higher speeds much snappier. If I roll full on I can be just under 6k in about a second and have all my torque and almost all my BHP. Also, at 3k the engine brake is kinda weak, and a quick engine brake is a great way to manage distance and speed with finesse. The only time I cruise lower than 4K is on an open highway with absolutely nobody around.
