The problem I have with *equivalent top geared* 6-speed is that in town if I use all of my gears I spend more time changing gears than I do accelerating, with a 5 speed. Even in my 1.3L Toyota Echo I skip gears often. I can't remember using 4th except when I have to cruise at 30km/h or climb a hill on the highway.

Give me a bigger overdrive 6th though and I'd promise to be your friend
