like ur sig ...as far as i know the lower in the rpm range u shift the better the gas millage. cruising rpms also make a big differance.

i do the same in a v6 93 but i usually just try to base it on the sound of the engine in most vehicles i drive... i think i do pretty well on mpg bout 23 city

Since the 5S has some torque, you can shift al like 2200 RPM's get down to like 1600RPM's and you're good, basically the point is to go lower andlower until you find the ppoint where you can cruise with the pedal depressed very little so you're not bogging down the engine ie, less than 1600RPM but you almost, are the thing is I have an intake so it can cruise at a lower RPM but try and find the point of shifting at the lowest RPM where once you upshift the car doesn't shudder because the RPM's are too low to move the car.
