I am usually just a hair over 3,000 since I cruise between 75-80 to work everyday. With the speed limits on US freeways being what they are, there would be no need for 6th gear if we couldn't drive at 3,000 RPM.

I do shift down to 5th if I am going to pass though.

The only thing that I have ever heard as being bad is driving at less than 2,000.
