The majority of the time I am around 3000-3500RPM. I normally downshift at or a bit below 3k, and upshift around 4k, unless I am having some fun in which case I will shift at 5500-6500RPM. I spend the majority of the time in 3rd around town (40-50MPH) or 4th/5th on the highway. 25MPH zones are normally 2nd gear. I have trouble with 30MPH zones, because it's below 3k RPM in 3rd gear, but over 4k in 2nd gear, so I will stay in 3rd at 2700-2900RPM unless it's uphill. This is for a '99 5-speed.
