Pretty much what everyone else said. Around town 2,500 - 3,000. Entrance ramps 5,000 - 6,800. Auto-X 6,000 - 6,800. Fun back roads 4,000 - 5,500 and forget you have a 6 speed, the lower 4 gears do a great job of keeping it in the fun zone.

For maximum mpg keep shifting at 2,500 - 3,000 all of the time.

GBMINI, ever have any interest in doing some Auto-X. The C.A.R.T. group runs some events in Bristol, CT (OK, not really close to you). There is one this weekend. More information @ CARTCT.com
