For Freeway/Highway cruisin what's your favorite gear to roll in?

I have found 4th gear to offer the most excitement on the highway, til things get busy and someone needs a lesson taught to them, then its 5th and 6th....

Although I have yet to bring 6th into the top of the redline yet ( ran out of safe roadway )....:D But I have seen the needle at 160 with more pedal left:rock:
 
4th w/ the truck, 3rd with the car ....both if a lesson is needing to be learned :D 5th with the truck, 4th with the car if its a ricer :D
 
crusing 80 mph, 6th gear, 1650 rpm's and 15.4 MPG....playing 4th gear rocks on the highway
 
Thrid around town.... 5th Hwy. In 6th I'm doing 80/mph, CHP don't like that..........

:D The record was set in 5th/gear. The record run never saw 6th either.

Let me be the first to call bull$hit on this one...:hmmmm:

5th gear=performance
6th gear=cruising/economy mileage

160 with more pedal to go........What are your mods again???:confused: ...is your sig updated???? ...what gear do you have???
 
i do about 5th most of the time. thats at about 60 mph. other than that
its 3rd and 4th. usually i get the most smiles per mile out of those gears.
specially 3rd :evil:

Depending on who, or what rolls up You can shift to 3rd @ 80, revs to about 4500. but cruzin, I roll 5th.
