so In my 90 Cr-x with a D15z1 and a HF tranny rolling on 190/50-15 tires, driving on the freeway when going 70mph I have 2 options:

4th gear @ 2400 rpm's (throttle just barely pressed)

or

5th gear @2000 rpm's (throttle 3/4 of the way open)

This artical is saying that 5th will do better for FE is this correct? I really feel like it bogs down alot and waists gas when in 5th at 3/4 throttle...
