I've had a hard time finding a good resource that explains the best
shifting points for highest fuel economy using this engine under
various loads, so here is a hypothetical set of test conditions
(substitute your own specs if you have some relevant numbers):

Load: '05 Accord LX, 5M (unloaded vehicle weight: 3177lbs)
<= 5,000 miles on odometer.

Configuration: Windows up, vents & fan open & running, AC and
other accessories off.

Altitude: Sea Level

Temperature: 72F

Rel. Humidity: 50%

Grade: Flat

Fuel: Regular, no ethanol / seasonal additives

From:

0 - 25: Best time / RPM shift points from %gear% -> %gear%
0 - 35: "
0 - 45: "
0 - 55: "

If you know of any resource where this kind of info is posted, great!

If you've done some experimenting on your own: Love to hear it.
