Yes under normal driving conditions. In fact most vehicles will operate just fine in fifth gear anytime above 50 mph and will help your gas mileage. The exception would be if you are in mountainous terrain and your vehicle seems to be struggling going up hill. So basically anytime your vehicle operates normally fifth gear is a good choice.

Why does Lanos slow down in 5th gear?
Fifth gear is like overdrive, it is meant for flat open highway driving. It is a gas saving gear so that you can travel at highway speeds at low rpm and your engine is just too small to use that gear at any other time. So use it on flat or slightly down sloped roads, fourth should be your normal gear for from about 45 to 65.

Which is the correct drive gear for city and highway driving on a 1990 Honda Accord EX?
whaat? well if its automatic, then just put it in d or d4 and it will be automatic. Since it is an old car you don't want to have the engine go at high rpm's usually above 3500. So on the highway keep it at the lowest gear, 5th for a stick. and shift the gear when you hit 3000 rpm's.
