Now, i don't understand how to make use of RPM during gear changes. when shifting towards higher gear, i acclerate to between 2000-3000 and shift the gear. My car keeps running in 4th gear even at 1000 RPM. Well, I think the car is supposed to run in low rpm when in top gear, right?
Can the pros please throw some light on my poor knowledge?
Theres only one way to shift, and its redlining all the way!

Just kidding. As RX said, the ideal shift point would vary from car to car. But do make sure not to stress the engine by running in a higher gear at an extremely low rpm.
