I like to rev it....a lot, but I'm very very weary of getting anywhere near redline. I THOUGHT (as a terribly inexperienced driver) that RPM of 2,250-3,500 would give me best gas milage, am I terribly wrong? These engines seem to love high RPM.

Using that upper RPM doesn't hurt the engine at all, just makes the engine use more oil because it slings more and causes more oil vapors.
