Thanks for the advice, which as expected was somewhat diverse. I don't have a tach and actually like the analog clock. After about 35 years of driving stick shifts, I have a pretty good ear for 3500-4000 rpm. I decided to compromise between the shift indicator light and the point where I would normally shift (which in speed is often about a 10 mph difference). Doing this, I was getting into 5th gear at around 45 mph, which seemed slow. But I have to say I like the gas mileage. I went 298 miles on 12 gallons of gas, in about a 60-40 mix of in-town and freeway driving, which works out to about 25 mpg.
