I used to drive and shift until 3-4K rpm, then I started following the shift light and shifting below 3k RPM. following the shift light only gives me about 10-20 more mpgs per tank...I think I should start looking into this more

Anyone think this is normal? I don't even have the AC on, I do only drive in the city, but there's been times where I've driven across state lines and didn't get any noticeable differences in mpg. I don't care about not having good mpg's, just want to make sure it's normal getting only 180 before the gas light comes on...my wrx that was stage 2 with an instant spooling turbo would get the exact same, 180..but the tank size was different.
