When driving around town, typically when do you (or your automatic) shift?

I shift around 3500-4000 but driving I keep it around 2500rpm.

in my VGT i consistently hit 6300-6500 rpms daily.... then wondered why my fuel economy was lower than everyone elses! drove around about 3500 rpms if i remember correctly.current vehicle... 2500 rpm or less (keeping it below WOT to conserve on fuel) unless i need to ROMP on it... which it may go up to 6000 rpm.

I voted, so I should have replied. Ooops...I drive it so that it typically upshifts at 2800-3200.

I'll usually drive so it shifts around 2300, but occasionally I'll push it (accelerating in front of someone who's flying) to the 4000 RPM area.

Try my best to keep it under 3200 but not always possible. I do most of the time

ok.... so I semi lied on the poll. I said it get's up to 6K, when all reality it normally shifts at about 2-3K. However, there is nothing more fun than hearing the intake roar a little extra when you hit lift, and watch the needle shoot for redline......
