Regular driving rpm.

How much throttle do you guys use when you're driving at a normal pace and what rpm do you shift at when driving at that pace. (this is for manual and auto trans.)

Really? 3,000 is what I use for an everyday driving shiftpoint.

So you all are barely mashing the throttle, right?

i shift a little higher from 4th to 5th though. usually like 2300-2500. if i don't, 5th gear drops to like below 1500 and it doesn't ride very friendly.
