I usually shift around 3k rpms. But like everyone else, when I'm getting on the highway I happened to redline a few times. Aggressive driving brings it up there, and when I'm in traffic everyday to and from work I often shift under 1k rpms with no gas, when I'm between 1st and 2nd. And I've done 3rd gear shift under 1.5k.
