Wow, I guess I'm the only one who grandpa's it around when I'm just running around... If I'm just steadily cruising or with light acceleration, I usually move to 5th right around 40 (my shifts are usually around 1750-2000 RPM) w/ 3.55 gears.

I have 3.55s too and if I shift to 5th at 40mph the car will accelerate VERY slowly (Honda Civic slow). Though I have started to shift before 2500rpm in an effort to save some gas. I went an additional 40 miles out of a tank of gas.

When I shift that low I feel as if I'm gonna break the crank...
