Umm... Depends... I mean, gearing will have some effect on it. Usually around 3.5...

Normal driving I usually shift at 1.8k-2k. I have 3.73s so 4th is my usual cruising gear. I keep rpms down for mileage and to keep noise down, the less noise you can great, the less the police will be on your a$$

I used to always shift it around 2000rpm but this year I found myself more around 2500rpm, anywhere between 2-3000rpm for normal driving.

I shift all over the place, always switching it up. I'm a "fun" driver.

Racing- I don't even look, it's all feel and sound.

I personally don't really pay attention to it, it's just such a second nature thing that the rpms really don't matter. I just shift when I needa shift. As I'm sure most people here do.

Under normal driving I shift at 2800-3000. That is where I get my best fuel economy. When my wife drives the car, she shifts at about 2000 and dogs the car. She gets crap mileage.

For the most part, I shift around 4k or higher unless I'm in town then around 2-3k. My car doesn't like shifting down low at ALL.

Drive it like you stole it.

2200~3000 usually.

In traffic/city driving 1800~2500.

When gettin' on it I'll shift past 5~5500.

Haven't bounced off the 7100RPM fuel cut yet, still looking for an opportunity to do that :)
