Again... Many years driving experience with a proper transmission.

My 'lousy automatic' will do that, and faster then you manually can.

Properly slower and less efficient than available technology.*

But anyways, OP. It all depends on how you're driving. 'Sweet spot' for sound is probably 3,500. 'Sweet spot' for MPG is probably around 1,500. And 'Sweet spot' for tracking is probably around 4,000.
