UPDATE: Well, my economy dropped significantly by accelerating slowly and smoothly. I went from a solid 35-39MPG down to about 33MPG!!! I guess I was tempted to try this because of my experience driving another vehicle (Toyota Sienna), but if I had spent more time with it I'm sure I would have found its shift points.

Also, try accelerating a different speeds to determine shift points. Sometimes its easier to hear the car shift when giving it more throttle.
