Tips on how to shift effectively

I\'ve been shifting at 4500 or sometimes longer if im in the mood for speed, any hints on how to keep the power

Usually higher shifts for more power and acceleration but for good mileage and normal driving in the city, I shift around 3000RPM and try to keep the car under 3000RPM when driving.

I usually shift at 3000 to 3500, unless I have to pass someone I shift at 4500.

I read an artical years ago, it said shift at the highest torque (ex 150lb/ft @4500) it would give you a better response to the speed, but I don\'t know for sure.
