I have a 5spd V6 truck and almost always shift @ 2000 rpm. When I need to get going, I'll pick it up to 2500 and rarely might go up to 3000 rpm.

I'd like to know @ how many rpm's you make your shifts, thanks.

Most shifts for me fall between 2500 and 3000 rpm. Sometimes I'll go beyond but only when exceeding the speed limit . I'd say that your shifting habits are quite conservitive.

I'm usually not in a really big hurry to get anywhere, and I like good fuel economy so I shift around 1900 when empty or 2200-2300 with a bed full of stuff or towing a boat trailer. My truck isn't even broken in yet and after only 500 miles i've had 15.3 and 16.1 mpg on the first two tanks. Half and half city/highway. Truck is only rated at 14/18. So I'm fairly happy right now.
