I usually shift at 4k because any lower, the car is going to bog like hell.

I usually shift between 3-4..

..so JW, at what rpm should we shift for the most efficient fuel consumption in the s?

3 is max for me for saving fuel. Ok.. maybe 3.5 but rarely hit 4.

I just go by sound. Shifting on normal driving shouldn't be an exact science IMO. The only thing I ever look at is my speedo. Some times the temp gauge, mines never went to 4 (ap1) but still, if I did I'd want to know. The car tells you when to get gas, that's a no brainer. Stock worrying so much and enjoy the car.

Dope, I bet that Prelude would be good for 9K....once. If you took of the limiter of course.
