he has an a4 so he doesnt know about what 6th gear can do. I roll at about 85-90 which is around 1900-2000rpms, hell 100 is only 2200 for me.

I usually cruise around in VTEC, 6500 rpms or so,sounds badass. Most highways around here are 70 MPH so 6th gear with stock gears is about 1700 RPM for me.

Alright I'm confused. I run around 2700 at 80 and 2000 at 60 and I have a GU5 RPO code which means I have 3.23's. Your fqucik says you are auto. How are you running different rpm's at the same speed?

I like to stay around 1500ish, shifting a little before 2k...the dumps get on my nerves if I go any higher with regularity.

I never cruise at anything over 1600rpms.. But I still don't usually get much more than 225 miles for a full tank of gas..
