Well that all depends on my mood. I usually shift at low revs, trying to baby it and be economical. Sometimes I cruise past others around a sustained 5 or 6 g's, if I want get their attention. I suspect it makes an impressive sound when it passes by and the revs are up.

If you mean 'cruise at' as in long-haul cruising, or 'cruise at' as in drive around the area? The votes might be very different for those two options...I know mine would be.

Cruise the long drive to work at <4K, Cruise around town and the area in VTEC.

I like to keep the revs up, around 4-5k. I feel like I have better control. And with my Injen CAI, I'm now too far from hearing that thunderous roar.
