I put it in the highest gear that will provide me the torque I need without labouring or over-reving the engine.

So sometimes it's the red line, sometimes it's 3k sometimes 4k, sometimes it's 2k

Cruising, ie. maintaining speed only, the highest gear that won't labour the engine at a constant speed. The cut offs for that are about:

25mph 4th
30mph 5th
35mph 6th

Which put you between 1.5k and 2k.
