5th gear is good from:

22mph accellerating downhill
25mph accellerating level
28mph accellerating uphill

It will cruise comfortably down to idle in 5th but will require a downshift at 22mph to accellerate on level ground. I have found that anywhere above 30mph is more efficient than 25mph.

I've never been able to make P&G work for my saturn. Its hampered by its slow accelleration I guess. And it also is typically loaded with people.
