With my TD's dumped, the car sounds better shifting between 2800-3000.
My gas mileage has suffered in city driving (13-15mpg), but highway mileage is still around 23-25mpg. Even tho my work week is only 3 days, i still try to drive conservative, that is until some idiot needs to be reminded of where their place is on the food chain...

hahaha, I can set them off at idle
I shift at 2k when cold and then at 2.5k or so when warm when just putting around. I skip gears on occasion, but usually after I run a gear a little higher.
