kinda depends. Average, probably 3000, 2500, 3000, 3200 and I get roughly 29 mpg combined.

[kid325e]

3k all day. 87 m20b27

[lifeiskaos]

i feel sorry for those of you who dont take your b25's over 4k.

[LowR3V'in]

Usually don't go over 2k.


I understand the need for an m10 to take it up to 4k just
too keep up with traffic though. :P

[Slangbox]

normal driving, right around 3000 average. Fun driving, 6500.

e30 I always shifted at 3k for normal driving, it got so loud, even at 3k it sounded like I was just an idiot that didn't know how to drive stick. The Subaru I shift anywhere between 3-4k depending on how I'm feeling, it's super quiet so I can do that now.

Depends. Driving around town to the store, I shift between 4-5k after the car's warmed up.

Driving for fun (car isn't a DD, so this is more often than not the case), 7100rpm on my m20 and 4.10. Thing's damn fun.:twisted: And if it dies....motorswap/stroker!

As for my Scoob....honestly, same, except it redlines at 6k.
