I've found that with my auto, it doesn't actually make that much difference. Normally, I let the big V8 shift around 2200 - 2500. Below 2200 the torque converter is too slushy for it to be efficient, and mpg drops. Unless I start pushing it above 3000 or so, I don't notice a difference on the high end.
