Not because of engine damage. 35-40 MPH might get me into 4th but likely still in third.

It is interesting seeing how different driving styles operate.
It takes a conscious effort for me to let the rpm drop below 3k. Gas mileage be damned, I've got to make up for the 40% of the time I'm creeping along in 1st gear at 12 mph on the freeway.
