Default What are your shifting points during DD?

I am asking this because since I installed the 3:73s I notice a great drop on gas millage... I heard a lot of people said that they notice almost no gas drop when installed 4:10 so I am thinking it's because of my shifting points?? I shift between 1.8k to 2k rpms...

I always shift at 1500, when I used to daily drive... now its nothing under 2k lol.

When I daily drove with 4.10s, it was shifting at 1500, highway at 60 and in 5th at 40mph in the city. I got good gas mileage, usually around 300 to the tank.

wow... 2.5k?? man my car passing the 2k rpms its too loud... I know that Hondas shift on those points but that's because those are some torqueless engines... but if that works for you that's great...

My 88year old Grandmother would even say you guys drive like you have vaginas. Daily drive? Ehhh 3500-4000 depending which gear.
In the Mazduuuh-rati, 5500-6k shifts all the time.
