alright so when im on the highway and in 5th gear...say 65 im at about 3200 rpms...this seams to high to me...also should be noted that most highways in texas average about 70 and cruising at 3400 rpms seems to high...thoughts?
thanks |

it should be the same for everyone running a 5sfe and stock tranny.. only things that would alter it (slightly) are the size of your rims and tires.
but yea, i don't have freeways here so i can't complain but at times when i take my car on the hwy, driving 3500 rpms hurts my wallet whereas larger vehicles can cruise the same speed at 2300rpms  my next car will have to have a 6th gear..
