The owners' manual lists the following shift speeds for best fuel economy:
2-15 mph 3-25mph 4-40mph 5-45mph 6-50mph
It seems they want you to cruise in 3rd up to 40mph for best milage. Traveling above 35mph in 3rd gear I'm turning over 2000 rpm's. For all other gears you end up cruising between 1500-1900 rpms. Is 4th at 40mph a typo? I'm thinking it should be 35mph or so...
When I first got my manual I was shifting at around 1500 rpm. Seems that was way too early.
