You really need to run some tests on your car to find out. You need a gas mileage computer, most of us use a Scangauge or Ultragauge. Start at a defined point, set the computer to zero, accelerate to a speed, then read the gas mileage as you pass a second defined point. Do this for different acceleration rates and shift points. Accelerate to the same speed in all tests.
The second point, where you read the gas mileage, should be just after you get up to your speed at the slowest acceleration. My truck does best when I just step on the gas and shift at 2500 RPM. That also has me moving with traffic.
