I don't mean short-shifting is bad, what I have read on here is that skipping gears is bad especially winding out 1-2-3 and then going into 6.

Clear as mud?

I'm usually in the 19-21 range.
I averaged ~25-26 going to FC last year, but that was cruising the Pa Tpk at ~80+/-.

I average 25-27 MPG on a regular basis. Best ever was 30.1 MPG going from Philly to Williamsburg, VA - no stopping, very little traffic.
