I'll weigh in this. My next-gen DX should be similar in gear ratios and engine power to yours.
Here's how I handle my shifts. You can shift even sooner but these are close enough and easy to remember.
1st: just enough to get rolling for a few seconds. This gear gobbles gas so get out of it.
2nd: up to 20 mph
3rd: up to 30 mph
4th: up to 40 mph
5th: anything above that
