Do you upshift through each gear too? like 1st to 2nd to 3rd to 4th at those rpms... or do you just jump from say 2nd to 4th since you're already moving so much faster?

I say probably 50% of the time. otherwise.. i shift around 4-5k. I did noticed a 1 mpg decrease driving it like that. Otherwise shifting around 3k-4k i gain that 1mpg back.
Upshifting... it depends if i feel like feeling the "pull" i go through all 1-4. but usually i just accelerate to about 6k on first and second gear only. then shift into 4 skipping 3rd.
