6th gear is basically to keep rpm's low at higher speed which will save gas... besically with 5 speed you can go lets say 120mph at 5500rpm, but with 6th gear you will do 120mph at lets say 3500rpm which will save gas...

6 speed usually has shorter throws, but 5speed has longer throws which means you will be in power band longer before switcing gears... i hope it made sence
