Depends.
Street: Generally 2,500
Freeway: Generally 4000
for cruising,
i also cruise/maintain speed in 6th gear, but usually 3k street and 4.5k fwy

as a generalization, i typically shift around 4k-5k rpms.

Generally, 3k rpm. If I'm on a long cruise on a straight road and I don't have a chance to go WOT, I usually hang around in 6th gear going 60km/h @ 2k rpm. The highways more like 3.5-4k, cruising.

Typically 3K on the street and closer to 4K on the highway.
