Someone talking in kph! ... ah, it's so ... much like home ☺
I find 5th a tad under-revved for 80 kph. I usually sit in 4th - especially since receiving some feedback in another thread.
60 kph (this is a common speed limit here in Aus for roads that run through the main part of a town) always feels to me like it's right between 3rd and 4th gear.

Either is fine though, it just feels more relaxing in 4th at that speed but 3rd is fine too. 5th gear is more of an overdrive on the s40.
