96 civic HX shift light

Hi all, just found this site while doing an unsuccessful search for info on the web. Hoping one or more of you can answer my question. I currently own a 96 civic HX that is nearing 217K miles and therefore I'm shopping for a replacement. Test drove another '96 last night that brought up my question. My car has an up-shift light that prompts you to shift for ideal economy. It operates in every gear except 5th (logically because you cannot upshift to a gear that doesn't exist). The car I drove last night had the shift light illuminate even in 5th gear. Which car is operating normally? Should the shift light come on while in the top gear? My searches resulted in conflicting answers. Please help with your own experiences.
