I do drive a lot in city, kindof... it's not traffic driving. Most roads I take are 55mph with streetlights, but I've done a pure highway tank and came up under 30mpg.

But I mean should I be accelerating with the RPMs at those numbers and then when I hit 45 my car always shifts down to about 1500. after that of course I would stay low RPMs.

I'm just not sure what's the best method of getting to that one major gearshift (I think it's going into 4th).
