6th gear is only for just that, highway speeds, flat driving. Trying to take a hill of any size bogs the car down and you start chasing the gears backwards to bring the rpm's back up to climb the hill. Your best gas milage will appear at 6th gear only if the hills are minimal. Again trying to pull a hill in the wrg gear will lessen your mileage also
