I just want to point out that you guys running 55mph in your cars at 3k rpm or whatever don't need to do that and are basically just being wasteful.

55mph at 3K is just about where you want to be for good economy. Lower RPMs do not always equate better mileage.
Driving around pushing the stall speeds all the time will damage the car and cost more in the long run than driving in the proper gear at the recommended RPMs.
If you want to lower the RPMs to just about stall and drive around thinking you are saving $20 a year then there are better alternatives.
