i would change it to 6th gear @ 40 mph but i don't normally use 5th gear.
I would go 1-2-3-6.
6th gear @ 40 mph produces 1500 rpm, which is same rpm that my automatic mercedes runs at when traveling at same speed.

Waking up a dead thread but I tried this today. Read mpg at 32 with 41mph avg! Found new cruise mode
Was completely skeptical, especially with this transmission. Tried it, engine/tranny ran very smooth to my surprise. Just don't try to pass anyone at 40mph 6th gear
Edit: here's a pic. I couldn't snap the 32 mpg cuz I was driving and waited until I stopped.
