If I were racking up a lot of highway miles, I'd be in 6th at 55 and not worry about it. Just make sure you downshift to pass. Lugging an engine at very low rpm is not great for it.
as soon as the rpm comes down rounding 2000rpm I downshift
I don't even look at the mph, its all about rpms for optimal advances
