35MPH is not too slow for 4th, considering the OFFICIAL MANUAL says you should be shifting into 6 at 33MPH!!!! Yes of course that is really slow for 6th but

35MPH is not too slow for 4th, considering the OFFICIAL MANUAL says you should be shifting into 6 at 33MPH!!!! Yes of course that is really slow for 6th but it's actually the recommended speed.
Gear change MPH (km/h) 1st to 2nd 8 (13) 2nd to 3rd 16 (26) 3rd to 4th 25 (40) 4th to 5th 28 (45) 5th to 6th 33 (53) And further, I like to shift through the gears when I'm driving around town, and I rarely hit areas that are more than 50 MPH while doing this. By your definition I would never leave 3rd and my gas mileage would be in the toilet! And none of this even matters anyway because it has no bearing on my original question and they're just some numbers I threw out to explain my question.
