shifting at 3000rpm should be good, you drive a 4-banger does gas mileage really matter? There are so many things that effect gas mileage beisdes accleration. For optimal shift at high RPM(before rev-limiter)you should feel the power drop-off before redline - shift at that time. Nice smooth quick shift - there is no reason to slam gears even though it seems fun.
