I try and find 6th all the time... My Audi is a 6 speed manual and I always skip 5th.

Jeez the power band is from ~4000 - 7000 rpm so doing 100mph in 5th is in band on a 6 speed.

For fuel economy when cruising you could do 6th at 60mph but downshift to 5 or 4 when there are hills or you need to do some passing.
