I don't look at the speedometer.....if I'm in 5th on the highway and I'm getting above 3,000 rpm....then I'll use 6th.......if I drop rpm below 2,500 then I'll go back to 5th.....I like the 3k range on my limited....I always drop to 5th to pass....even riding 1 up.....I like to keep the engine responsive if I'm passing.....

Which for me is about 70 or so.
