My mileage isn't that great but I ride a lot harder than most of the people in this sub I think. I regularly use the entire RPM range. I need a release after going easy on the throttle in my Honda Pilot to save gas there lol. I also don't use my 6th gear all the time. If I'm on the highway surrounded by other traffic (90% of the time in the Seattle area) I stay in 5th even up to 70-75 mph just for the extra power to get out of a situation without downshifting if needed. I'll use 6th more in carpool lanes or not around traffic.
