For scenario #1 (0-35mph), my (admittedly back of the envelope) calculations say that if I keep it in 2nd up to 35mph (3k rpm) before shifting to 5th, I turn a total of 7875* revolutions; whereas if I shift at 1,350rpm** and accelerate more slowly, I only turn 5400* revolutions. So I guess I'll be accelerating more slowly. Oh well.
*Over and above the 12.5 rev/sec that the engine turns at an assumed 750rpm idle, which it'd be turning anyway as long as it is running.
**I'm pulling these RPM levels from a calculation based on gear ratios, wheel diameter, and mph shift points, since I have no tach...
