Default Acceleration

As a new Audi 2003 owner , I find myself constantly driving at 5th gear for a speed of 80-90 mph and an "acceptable " RPM around 4000-5000: Shouldnt I be getting more at lower gears?

Default OK; if you are asking whether that is the right RPM for that vehicle at that speed>>>

in 5th gear, I would think so from the times I have driven 225s, though I defer to those who drive them every day. Hard to say since you are also referencing a pretty broad rpm range (1k), in 5th; that ought to equate to more than a 10mph spped change. If that is too high-revving for you, why not drop into 6th, anyway? That's what its there for.
