The K series in my Insight delivers the best fuel economy when I shift extremely early. Basically, if I'm above idle in the next gear, I'll get better economy by shifting at that point. Dropping it into 6th at 27mph and cruising along at 800rpm ends up being better at the pump than holding onto the gear longer.
