Glen, thanks for posting. There really is no right or wrong, everyone has there own style and it depends on the mood and location.
I tend to be at a higher RPM 4-6K when I'm in heavy traffic or merging only because I want to be in a stronger power band when some cager wants a piece of my leg. Country roads enjoying the scenery 5th @ 55 is very comfortable. if there are a lot of driveways and intersections 3rd is my go to gear again to be in the power band.
You have to pick and know your spots to get on it, I have a few 1/4 mile on ramps where I'll ring it out, sometimes I'll get off an exit just to get back on
