I prefer to red-line every single gear.. and I often do.

Though after putting in $50 and getting like 7.5 gallons the other night.. you will now often find me doing 40 in 6th, in the right lane.

1500 rpm shifts baby!

You may be actually getting lower fuel economy doing that. At 40 mph I think 5th gear is probably best, maybe even 4th.

It's called volumetric efficiency.
