So.. if I only use fifth gear when im going over 65mph this is a bad thing?
That's pretty close to my experience, although, if I'm out on a flat country road, I'll go into 5th sooner. On hills or the freeway, I generally just leave it in fourth so I don't have to keep dropping it down for every rise in the road.
