RPMs and shifting the 6 speed

At what RPM do you shift given flat terrain? Is 2500 too early? Do you run at a certain rpm for the best mileage? I find the tranny is sluggish if I'm below 2000 on flat land

 

I usually shift around 6-7k. I like to hear the sound of the engine screaming for mercy before I give in and let her take a full breath of air.
But for best mileage, unless I'm trying to merge onto a highway, i usually shift around 2000-2200.
If gunning it, it will get up to 3500, but even then, don't always see the need.

 

2500 rpm for me. Even with my slow driving and low rpms, gas mileage sucks around city (16-17 mpg). On open heighway I get around 19-21mpg.

 

I usually shift around 2500-2800..I think. It's not something I really pay much attention to though.

 

2500 sounds about right for normal acceleration. In town and stuff I usually shift at 2000-2200.

 

I shift my 2.7L at 2000 at every shift except 1-2 at 2500. Not sluggish at all.

 

At normal driving i shift at no more than 3000. Your good at what your shifting at o.p

 

I try to keep it at or under 2500

 

I don't think OP has a smaller 5 lug or a 4 cyl though.

 

On my 2013 V6 I shift at 1500 rpm most all terrain, and I only use 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 6th and it is not sluggish. I usually keep the RPM's around or under 2000 for MPG. I average around 22 mpg mixed driving with a high of over 24 HWY. I try to always run a TOP TIER ethanol free Detergent Gasoline. For me it is mostly Conoco.

 

^This.

 

So your that guy I cant stand to be behind coming away from a light!

 

I shift around 8500RPM.... O wait wrong car sorry lol

 

If in Texas that could be . I do upset some folks at times.
