when i had my V6, if i was just around the city, i'd shift at around 2200-2500 rpms. getting up and moving, i'd shift at at least 3000. Just really depends on flow of traffic and mood.
Don't worry too much about it though. I found that weather i shifted high or low, kept the foot in it or out of it, drove hard or easy, i always got within 2mpg every fill up. (during the non winter months). I always got a mix of 24-26, unless it was pure highway.2011 Camaro LS 6M, in black.

Nobody likes an @sshole, unless its on a hot blonde girl who's open to experimentation. I've got a 3.4, but I usually shift at around 3k, but depending on what I'm doing (getting around traffic, merging onto highways..) I go to about mid-4k.<b>1996 Camaro Z28 M6 Convertible</b> Not stock (<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2055334\" target=\"_blank\">Cardomain</a>) <i>(Wrecked, 3/4/06)</i><br /><b>1995 Camaro 3.4L</b> (<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/ride/602057\" target=\"_blank\">Cardomain</a>) <i>(Sold, 8/05)</i>

You should be able to listen to when you should shift, but around 3k is about right.<b><a href=\"http://members.cox.net/95batmobile/d86f.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Sinister Six</a> </b><br /><br />1998 Sport Metallic Gold Firebird A4:<br /><br />Whisper Lid, 5% Limo Tint, 30th Anniversary Side Stripes, 3\" Borla Catback Dual Exhaust, Man Fan Switch, SLP CAI<br /> <a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/98goldbird\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cardomain.com/98goldbird</a>
