I'll write a short summary of how I drive and have been driving for the last 214 000km.
0-60km/h = 1-4th gear, never 5th or 6th.
0-120km/h = 1-6 gears, I use 5th for overtaking and 6th for cruising at constant speed.
Sometimes(maybe once or twice a week) I do high load accelerations. Like 2nd gear and up to 3500rpm.
And also I usually drive 100km distances to my summerhome and back every week.
I have never listened to those ''eco''driving instructors who say, ''Use 5th or even 6th gear when you are driving 50km/h''
That is why many engines build up cr*p inside and then as a result, not drive like they should.
