Gee, it's nice to see someone has a little patience.

The 2.0L engine is decently powerful, so shift points aren't all that important. For fuel economy, I'll go 10-15 mph in each gear before going up to the next. I don't have a tach in my Elantra, but I imaging it's between 2000-3000 rpm. For passing or more power etc you can rev higher. For slowing, I'll usually just leave it in whatever gear it's in, and let the engine help slow the car until the revs get down around 1500 or so, then I'll push the clutch in. Basically it just takes some practice and after awhile you won't even think about it.
