shift at 7k RPMS and hold a steady 125 on the freeway for ultimate mileage

sounds about right for acceleration. try 2000-2500 for best gas mileage. im not sure what you are asking.

for better gas mileage, shift early (lower rpm (2500 or so) / lower mph)

for better performance, I agree with the others (pretty much around 5-6000)
