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.

Yeah I shift in the 3500 range as well. I can't see how you wouldn't be lugging it shifting at 2500 and keeping up with traffic. But people tend to drive quickly on the surface streets around here since the city is so spread out.
Who buys a car rated at 20/27 that needs premium and is concerned about gas mileage?
Not to mention, I was just playing around. geez
