TBH I am usually driving at 5-6k RPM in 4 or 5th gear in order to stay in the power band for good acceleration when passing. I get pretty terrible mileage though, I'd estimate about 15mpg.

Not copying. Just co-signing. There is a small difference but a difference none the less.

for once I actually pulled 540km 97%highway, full tank out to the gas station, while on 6gear without traffic at2500rpm, I would say that's pretty average in today's MPG standard, if you really just everyday driving and you do highway a lot is really not that bad, just clutch 6th, and you will save some gas!".

"Not really a full tank out in correction, I would hit 550 before chocking"

Cruising 4k @ 80mph, 6th gear.
Lower gears, higher RPM when negotiating traffic.
