Default Where do you shift for best GAS MILEAGE?

What RPM do you shift at to get the best gas mileage?

i dont need gas i have an electric srt-4 motor (1000bazzillionmilliontrillion GigaHurtzawattaVolt power biatches!)

best way to find out info on your car

step 1:
open glove box
step 2:
move mc donalds wrappers and your girlfriends feminine products out of glove box.
step 3:
Open black case thing that has owners manual in it.
step 4:
go to index and find gas milage
step 5:
READ IT AND STOP ASKING QUESTIONS....

hell if you want great gas milage go buy a honda hybrid

Don't even look at the tach, watch the boost gauge. Keep the vacuum as low as you can for the best mileage.
