| You simply let off the gas when you reach the desired RPM and the car will simply shift itself... I read my Maxima's owners manual and its shift points are at the 2000rpm range for optimal fuel milage... Acceleration Shift Points are at 15mph (1>2), 25 (2>3), 35 (3>4), 40 (4>5). Cruising Shifts Points are 13, 23, 33, 35 I think... something crazy like that.. I've been trying to shift before 2300-2500 if I can (sometimes you just can't)... or I'll try and skip shift (1st to 3rd to 5th or 1st to 2nd to 4th to 5th, etc). Been doing pretty good... I'm at like 415 miles to the tank, and the light just came on...
