Its funny though, whenever Im driving my non-Honda friends on the highway, they invariably ask, "are you in 5th??", "are you sure??" hehe.
Why do people think that 4k is stressful on the engine?
I am at over 4500k on the highway almost all the time. I get 30+ mpg, sometimes 35 on the highway.
Hondas (most of them at least) are meant to rev. In the scheme of things 4500 rpm on the highway for 8 hours is much less stressful than constantly (100+ track miles) being in VTEC (6-8400rpm) at the track at WOT all day.
