What RPM do you shift at?

I'm just curious about what RPM people shift, during normal driving. I usually shift somewhere just over 3 grand.

I don't drive much at all so conserving gas isn't a huge priority so I just shift when it feels good to...usually around 3-4k.

When I'm going to drive out to the inlaws or have a busy day involving a lot of driving, I'll go into uber conservative mode and shift at 2k to keep cruising rpms at 1500. In 100% city driving I logged 22.4 mpg. I think my average speed was 22 mph.

Probably 5-5.5k but that's only because i have a 5AT, so the times when i feel like having a bit of fun and ripping around I put it into 'ghetto manual' aka sport mode. Otherwise i just piddle around town and let the car shift itself.
