Ditto. My V8 shifts at 5000rpm every day, and it happens easily about 20 times a day. I have to stop along some highway areas a bunch, and back roads without much passing space, so setting still and being easy with the gas just creates longer conflicts with drivers behind me. I hit the gas as needed to get up and beyond average speed, to reduce the amount of conflict with other cars. It's harder on the brakes absolutely, but my engines have done just fine at high throttle, any amount and as often as needed.
Give it the beans.
