Just look at the engine statistics.
Sometimes you need every second you can get on our busy roads so for my overtaking fourth gear is the optimal choice and six gear would be more dangerous because it takes too long.
Im not sure about petrol, but in a diesel as long as your revs are where the torque is, it doesnt matter what gear your in. You can do motorway speeds in 4th. It wouldnt sound very good and kill your mpg though.
