Only if it is geared right. Unless a 5 spd has an overdrive fifth,
or the vehicle has a lower ratio diff, you only go through more gears.
Most trans have the top gear 1:1 so the engine turns the same rpm at
a given road speed whether it is a 3, 4 or 5 speed. (unless the diff
ratio is changed)
That's what the 5 speed is good for!

I'm actually well pleased with my '84 190D auto, its quite drivable as the
engine is always spun up. It REALLY needs an overdrive on the highway
though, its over 3,000 rpm at 60mph.
