Lightbulb How to drive Integra, Help!

Hi, this is my first post here and am very excited to see what I can learn! I have spent many hours reading into Hypermiling so im hoping to get into specifics with my car. Can I get a brief rundown of when I should be shifting and how fast I should accelerate? Those are my 2 main concerns for which I have not been able to find a good answer. I’ve been upshifting at about 3k but have dropped it to around 2.5k. I’m trying not to drive a lot due to gas prices around my area are all over $4. And I take about 5-7 seconds to upshift but im feeling that may be too long and causing me to spend extra gas. I have a regular combined of 28mpg consistently but really want to have a consistent 30+mpg. Please, help me out! Thanks.
