depends on the car, how much power it has and how the car is geared. in the city, if the conditions are steady traffic at a regular speed limit without interruptions, on flat or somewhat downhill, i would be in 6th. always remember that 5th and 6th are generally overdrive gears.

if i have to deal with stop and go traffic, i never go past 2nd or at most 3rd.
