1) is it manual? if yes go to 1a. If no go to 2.
1a) shift at 2k rpms. Done.
2) reset your avg fuel economy on the DIC and see how it rates.

its auto, i reset the dic at every fill up, and also calculate it on paper as well.
I also drive in the manual mode so i can shift sooner at times, if it doesnt seem to want to shift before 2000 in drive, then when im up to speed i will either shift into m6 or just put it back in drive.

He has a V6 it does not require premimum, mine is a V6 and get anywhere from 18.5 to 33. Depending on how and where I drive.
