I pretty much keep it simple...


If upshifting and accelerating, I switch to:

2nd at 10mph
3rd at 20mph
4th at 35mph
5th at 50mph
6th at 65mph

But that's just me.


I shift the same way, is this the best for fuel economy?

Changing up gears too early can lug the engine and reduce it's life. Same thing with redlining it at every opportunity. Just keep the engine working at the rpm it is happy with. IMHO, this is around the 4,500-5,500 RPM range. YMMV.
