All in my head?: 4th gear feels weaker than 5th

Is it me, or does 4th feel weaker than 5th? I accleeerate better w/ the 5th than 4th (or maybe its my mind). See when in 5th, when at the 3000rpm range, if i let go of the gas, then step on it, i feel the thurst. at 4th, no matter what rpm i'm in, i never feel any thrust when I step on it, and the speed picks up real slowly as it feels so, possibly slower than at 5th.

Is the drive by wire playing tricks? or is something wrong w/ the 4th? (maybe its not engaging the clutch?)

On my Fit Sport I have defintely used fourth do accelerate faster than in fifth.
Example: I was going up a hill going about 70 then slowed to 60 al in fifth gear. Then I changed gears to fourth and started to climb the hill faster and faster. Meaning I was able to accelerate while in fifth I was only slowing down.
