I go through all the gears, with wide open throttle and low mph shift points during acceleration. I use piston speed as my guideline which it think is about 1000 to 1200 fpm. for max economy. Basically for my car (91metro) with a 77mm stroke that translates to about 2000 to 2400 rpm as my target range. Since I dont have a tachometer I had to calcualte the shift points in mph so thats like 11, 20, 30, and 41mph from shifting into 2nd through 5th. I think if you skip gears you might end up outside of the most efficient rpm range for your engine.
