But yeah, just wondering if the 7th gear is used for cruising or top speed. My commute on the freeway averages around 70~80mph and I noticed that even on 7th gear, the RPMs lick 3K. Constant 3000 RPM seems a bit high for cruising in my opinion.

i can tell you that i can hit 155 in 5th on my MT

6th on MT and 7th on AT is really just overdrive, so its for gas savings
