pretty much agree with everybody else here. I can cruise 80mph comfortably in 5th gear, without revving very high (only about 4k?). I could shift up and lower my revs even more, save gas, ect, but im usually in traffic around other cars and sitting at 4k just gives me more engine brake/throttle response "just in case." if i'm on an empty road going long distances i'll shift to 6th gear and cruise at 3k rpms. so, basically, it's "tour" mode.
