Shifting Efficiently

How do you calculate where the most efficient shift point is? I guess you could apply this to the robots, but my question is actually for automotive transmissions. I can drive a stick shift fine, and have for a few years, but I've had no instruction other then a friend talking me through it and giving me about an hour total of 'shift about now'.

I'm not even sure what you need to be able to go about figuring this out, but with gas prices what they are, any gained efficiency is more money in my pocket.
