Many is the time when I've been in top and gone for another gear. Usually happens after toddling along in a 40 zone and then joining the motorway. After being at low revs for a while it then feels like the engine is reving to much for the speed.
A couple of times I have gone the other way and found myself happily cruising down the motorway in 5th gear for a mile or two before realising it.
