What's wrong with lower rev shifts around town? 2500 isn't awful and probably helps gas mileage as long as you're not lugging it. No necessity to racecar shift it when you're just cruising around local roads at 35 mph. Don't need to prove to the Civic behind me that I can get to that speed in just a measly 5 seconds by revving it up.
Personally, around town I shift somewhere in the 3000-3500 range typically. When the engine is cold, I'm shifting at 2500 and giving it 10% throttle. There's no rush in life.
