30mph for me would be 3rd gear, but in the 35-45 range I'm in 4th all day long with the revs around 2k. No need for anymore if you're driving down a straight flat city road at a steady speed. Even the 2.5 is tractable in 4th from 1500-2500rpm.
Maybe time to trade the Porsche in for a Camry.... Drive it like the good Dr meant it to be driven, between 4000 and redline.
