As it should be. 5th gear should be for driving down the highway with a 5 speed manual, not any of this 'put a final drive out of a sports car into an economy car' stuff that seems to be the norm over here at least. I am a bit bitter about how I may have a 4.3 final drive (matches up with my RPMs at most speeds) when the car can move 1400 kg up a 5% grade in top gear and it has enough power to handle a 3.53 final drive in 5th gear on most freeways.
