Default What rpms do you usually cruise at?

I'm always interested to know what RPM's people usually cruise at. For example, how many rpms are you usually at when cruising going in 4th gear?

I personally am still used to normal cars so I shift till i'm going around 3000 rpms, so at 40 mph i'm in 4th or even 5th gear.

If I am driving normally and not in a hurry to get anywhere, ill actually follow the manual on recommended shift points.
so 4th for me is somewhere around 40-47mph at around 3000-4500 rpms.

Haha, I should look that up in my Honda manual. That's eventually what I was going to ask.

Below 6000k rpm, the engine operates like any other four cylinder engine, so drive it like one.
