I spend an awful lot of the time in the very middle of the gear range-- that's the middle ring up front, and 4 or 5 in the back.

I am glad to hear I'm not alone I generally ride in the middle too.. I actually have to be going downhill at a good speed (25mph+) to feel comfortable in the higher gears. I average about 12-13mph on most rides though.
