I'd like to do that too, unfortunately the route I take has many sections of relatively close together lights, and I don't want to risk accelerating to 45 just to have to slow down all over again. The longer stretches I am able to get up to 45, engage 5th, then slowly back off down to 40 and chug along at like 1.2K RPM. Otherwise I hover around 37 and do some b*stardized variant of DWL by choking the throttle at just barely above idle.
