4th gear most of the time. 5th on the hwy. 6th only when i'm really flying. I for some reason actually get better mpg around 5-6k rpm's than i do at 3k.

I think being consistant is most important....in 6th at lower revs you end up giving it more throttle to pick up speed and you are just wasting gas....but if you were on a flat road and didnt have to throttle up youd get best mileage in 6th
