do you really need it though??
I quite comfortably get under 10L/100km (or more than 24miles/gallon) when cruising at 120km/h down undulating highways. Thats at about 3500 rpm the whole way.
Where would you like to sit?? If the answer is say 2500... then you are going to have to change back to 4th a reasonable amount. We just dont have the torque down there. If its 3000... then who cares? 500rpm aint worth the effort.
Its only cars with much more low down torque that can cruise highways at 2000rpm. Also those cars tend to top out a few thousand rpm less than ours... we have a high revving engine. The car was never designed to be a pure highway cruiser.
