i would change it to 6th gear @ 40 mph but i don't normally use 5th gear.
I would go 1-2-3-6.

6th gear @ 40 mph produces 1500 rpm, which is same rpm that my automatic mercedes runs at when traveling at same speed.

I was about to say the same thing. The manual recommends shifting
from 5th to 6th @ 33 mph for max fuel economy.

Though obviously if you are about to stop shortly after reaching 33 mph
it doesn't make much sense to shift all the way to 6.
