In my 3.6, I try to never let the rpms go below 3000 unless I am in traffic. I normally cruise on country roads at 3000 just below where the vario-cam kicks in in either 4th, 5th or 6th. I use the car from 3k to 5k most of the time but I always push the redline at least once every day I drive the car. Usually in the afternoon on the way home there is a straight stretch with only crops on both sides and it is a good place to let the engine rev freely.
My wife's 2.5 is not as rpm happy as my car, it is a 5 speed and seems to live about 1000 rpms below mine across the board. It cruises nicely between 2000 and 3500.
