Optimize for the fastest track of all the tracks you plan to go to, its worse to run out of gear than it is having to shift often.
Might go with 4.88 based on this. Since I can sometimes hit fuel cut at the top of 4th but there isn’t enough road or ideal to change to 5th I should be able to almost top out at 5th with 4.88 but not hit fuel cut.
