adding to what ghuncha said

general rule normal cars like civics and corollas.... change gear at 3 k rpm .. it goes for normal city driving.it also depends on the road and traffic conditions ahead of you

i would say you keep it a few hundred over 3..
and try to get the feel of when to chenge the gear rather than looking at the tachometer for the current rpm to decide for the gear change

enjoy safe driving
