I think there's a whole thread about this somewhere. I can't imagine being in 3rd at 19mph!! Sometimes when I'm downshifting I accidentally take a turn in third and it feels like I'm never going to get there.

Here's what I do, but you can really do whatever you like the best:

1st to 2nd gear ~ 20
3rd ~ 35
4th~ 47
5th ~ honestly I get to go fast so rarely I can't even remember, but I know i've been going 60mph in 4th a few times.

I drive around town mostly, so it's pointless for me to shift all the way up to 5th. I rarely make it into 4th gear, especially because people around here can't read speed limit signs. Every time I go to work (seriously) the car in front of me goes 35 or 40 in the 45mph zone, and it's a 3 mile stretch of straight road. Ugh. I sing a little song I call 'I love 3rd Gear' to pass the time.
