i usually shift around 3500-4000. lowest i'll go is probably ~2300 rpm if im in slow traffic. my mileage is only slightly better if i drive conservatively.

 

This is the kind of thing where you just drive your own car and figure out what it likes.....

 

2000 RPM, sometimes a bit lower if the car is going downhill. Just don't expect a lot of grunt down there, and be prepared to do a lot of dancing because you'll be in third by the time you clear the intersection.

That's how I'll drive if I'm being limited by traffic. Regular driving, probably 2.5-3K or so. Having fun? 8K!

 

But why would he want to short shift it?

 

 

This is exactly what I do as well.

 

!!!!

 

I don't really notice any difference in gas mileage so I shift between 4-5k rpms its a high reving engine don't granny shift it...in traffic 2-3k rpms

 

in between 3.5 - 4.5 works good for me.

 

i shift at 15mph, 25 mph. 35 mph 50mph and 60 mph

or when i dont want to look i just hear my engine shifts vary from 3.5 to 4k

again this is for an AP2
