I've got a 98 SVT.

Usually if I'm cruising on an open road, I drive in 5th even if its like 35mph. No need to be in 4th. I see any additional revs as wear and tear on the moving parts. Even though I run synthetic, I try and baby the car somewhat. Its got about 140,000 miles on it right now.






Yeah, I'm the same way. I often skip 4th gear when I'm around 45-50.
