  1. Dealer recomended 4000 RPMS


  2. For acceleration: The lowest possible RPM that the motor can take without jerking with 1/2 - 3/4 throttle.

    For cruising: Highest gear you can be in for that speed.  Obviously you cant use 4th gear at 10mph.  

    In my car I shift before it reaches 2500 RPM.  Combined with slow freeway driving I achieve about 35MPG in a car that is supposed to get 26MPG combined.
