Question Shiftin Points

Just wanted to find out if any other Savage or S40 riders out there can tell me what their perferred shifting points are on the bike. I normally like to be in 5th gear before 50 when riding around town. Freeway that is different. Let me know as I am curious of the different shift patterns and the gas mileage that you get with those patterns. I usually get between 55-60 mpg and ride a lot of freeway of 70mph+
