i got her to go 135 (i think it was around 8400rpm @ 5th)

Deamos, just let go of your conscious self. Use the force Deamos. Use the force... of your right foot against the gas peddle!

Seriously, I've learned from experience that chasing the best gas mileage and lowest shift points will only gum up your Wankel. Rev the wee out of it regularly and smile all the way back to the gas station. Gas is cheaper than and engine.
