Sorry to ruin your parade, but you ain't saving any gas by shifting to 6th at 35mph. There is a time for everything. Bogging your engine not only isn't too good for the motor but it has to struggle at that low of revs and will hurt mpg. It's all about efficiency, not being in the tallest gear at any speed.
