You want to get into top gear as quick as possible, without going over somewhere between 2500-3000 rpm, probalby closer to 3000 maybe little more with your engine size. The reason's why this works, the engine is more efficent the wider the throttle is open but without reving too far. More important I think is going slow in 1st and 2nd you are only geting 10-15 mpg, so we need to get out of those gears quickly and last, with a auto we also need to get the torque convertor locked up.
With the Stratus 2.4 w/automatic I take it to almost 3000, let off to shift, and get on it again as hard as possible to hold that gear, repeat till hit target speed.
