Actually the same things apply, it's still marginally too slow for 5th gear, so the car tends to slog a bit. Personally I would use 4th at that speed.
I would rather pay a few £ in extra fuel than replace a clutch.. . ... |

I think we should lobby government to allow us to drive a 55 or 60 instead of 50 so we can use 5th

I use 50mph as the indication to change up from 4th, or down from 5th, depending on whether you're accelerating or slowing down - if that makes sense
