What's saying you MUST stay in that gear?
As long as you aren't in 1st, you can always drop down another gear to accelerate. If you're running out of power in 1st, you probably shouldn't be where you are, OR you've got serious mechanical problems.
In the case of the OP, where he's locking out 6th AND 5th for a majority of the trip, I agree, a gear change is a good idea, and I agree, 4.30 or nothing.
