The best gear change

[meckanix]

Hi All,
I just wanted to see what peoples opions are of what they believe to be the best time / revs ... etc to change gear for both petrol and diesel cars.

 

[sambryant]

for normal driving i would change between 2500 rpm and 3000 rpm.

 

[Faisal]

for normal id change before the turbo spools,which saves petrol, around 2k rpm

if going full throttle, before remap i change at 6.5k revs. after remap i change at 7.5k revs.

this is on a lcr

Best as in fastest or best as in MPG wise?
For fast then my peak figures are @ 5800 RPM so about here
For MPG I can get 42.5 MPG average over a full tank of fuel by changing @3,000 RPM with very little acceleration and sticking about 55-60 MPH
