Is it really okay to drive 33 in 6th?

Before you start hating and yelling at me I know it's a sports car not made for mpg, and that's awesome you bang every gear at redline xD I know

I know other threads talk about it but everyone always just says redline it and stop worrying about mpg so it's hard to get a legit answe.

SO... previous to this only manual car I had was a 1966 mustang with a 289 v8. When I kept low rpm in the car it didn't bog, just usually flooded the carb and I would downshift, romp on it, and clear it out.

With my 370, I just like to cruise and be stealthy. I don't really care for going fast on city roads cause in California it's a bunch of traffic. The manual says 6th gear you can be 33mph. I just want a better opinion. Is it safe? I'm literally keeping my foot in the same spot not accelerating and if I do I'll down to 3rd or 4th. Al the speed limits near me are 40 so people go like 35 of course so I just cruise it.

Thank you all so much for your time for reading and if you respond thanks even more! Have a great day!
