Commin back from williams lake last summer road tripping my buddy was driving and he woke me up shaking me saying "hey were going 140!" but it was scary the doors were rattling like hell and it was SO loud inside....wasnt pleasant.we were well over 3000 RPM so we decided to slow here back down to 120

I just drove Nelli across this big-ass country,
and going over 100km/h doesn't feel right to her. 95 is good. 100 is @ 3000
Now she is manual,ey, and I noticed the rpms don't drop as much going from 4th to 5th as they do with all the other steps
Isn't it strange that they wouldn't make that 5th gear really low, cause you obviously don't need the power to accelerate any more, you just wanna cruise and get good milage.
Know what I mean?
Is there a technical thing to it?
love and light
