Lowering your revs doesn't automatically mean higher MPGs, if you're shifting at 2,000 RPM you need to push the accelerator harder to get the same, prolly even lower acceleration which gives the engine more gas per cycle. You have to find the ballance between revs and throttle position.

I shift low (2-3K RPM). I have a tendancy to do this so my exaust doesnt get to loud. Its a good habbit I find. Easy on gas and easy on the engine. Of course if Im messin around I let it rev higher.

i was thinking that same thing, now if they were racing old military jeeps then that is another thing. also if you watch when they shift i think it shows their foot at some point and they don't even double clutch
