And I don't really notice it affecting my gas mileage that much.

Just a guess but I'm thinking that 5th in a 6sp is different that 5th in a 5sp.
Good point about the gas mileage. I wonder if 500 lower rpm when cruising makes that much dif, as I'm trying to save gas. Prolly a question for a different thread.
