Recommended shifting points for the CTS-V
What are the recomended shift points for the CTS-V? speed or RPM'S?
For best fuel economy. Thanks for your help. |

Try for example, keeping the throttle the same, but downshifting to pass instead of giving it more throttle. That being said, for normal acceleration, I use 2.5K. |
shifting at what RPM??
To get the best fuel economy.
Do most of you agree that shifting at 2500 RPM's is about right? T.M. |
Yes, somewhere around 2.5K seems about right...but define "economy"? Making your tank of gas last the longest, or making your tank of smiles ride the widest :)

By Economy I mean the best gas milage you can get by driving the CTS-V as close to "perfect" as you can.
I know what GM's numbers are but what are the real world numbers you guys get. |
