There are many things that affect your mileage. Shift points are only one.

Put it this way....cruising on the freeway for most of the tank at 70-80mph I got 27. Mashing the throttle in the city and hitting redline a lot, I get 21-22mpg

I couldn't resist, as I just traded my S2000 for a RX-8.
We're all very sorry for your loss.

if you are worried about MPG get a Prius.

I shift at about 4-5k on average but make sure I see the redline several times a day.

I have NEVER checked my MPG, life is too short to not drive the car you want like you want. No I am not rich, just don't care, if I cared I would drive something else and life as I know it would be over.

I shift at 3k and cruise at 4.2k? I stay around 75-80mph and get about 23 mph. Im waiting for someone to say they shift at 10k or something because they have built internals
