In standard load mode, after gear select, the rotating speed should be at 1250 to 1300r/min.
Theses results in both enough torque and fuel saving.
At light load mode or heavy load mode but on flat roads, it’d be better to go through low gear range as fast as you could, bypass gear up if necessary, to save fuel.
But when at high gear range, you should gear up level to level, do not bypass any gear, because ratio at high range vary widely.
