I need to be going at least 45 MPH to use 5th gear on flat ground. Great on the highway though! Also very little braking or idling.
Wow. You have the HF trans! Is it the 2.95 FD or the 3.25? My 3.25 1993 CX/VX trans turns about 1500 rpm at 45mph. I love it on the highway. Ditto.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.

It's the 2.95 FD. I've actually wished for taller gearing on the highway a few times!
