Heres my take on this whole thing and it might shed some light.

Daily Driving I usually shift around 3k maybe slightly higher if im on an INCLINE or slightly lower on a DECLINE. If im saving gas im gonna wanna get out of 1-4th gear pretty quickly so ill shift under 2k. When im getting onto the highway freeway ect ect ill go to around 5k shifts until im in 6th gear then ill be cruising around 2-3k rpm in 6th gear which is approx. 50-65mph. Generally if you need MPH which you shouldnt really need heres what its gonna look like

1st- 0-10mph
2nd- 11-25
3rd- 26-40
4rth- 41-55
5th- 56-70
6th-70 - infinity and beyond.

5th gear can handle alot more and when you changing lanes your gonna dshift from 6th to 5th unless there are no cars your trying to pass. This is for NORMAL daily driving. For GAS SAVING your gonna wanna do five MPH increments as stated in the manual and for spirited driving your gonna want to hit 4.5-6.5k rpm between shifts EXPECT FOR FIRST GEAR, try to to redline in first gear. You might Blow your motor.
