RPM Question

Just a quick question. When you are sitting on 100 km what does your taco read? Mine sits on about 3500 rpm. Is this normal?

I take it you mean in top gear too?

3500RPM sounds about right for 5th gear. Why do you ask???

Yeah I meant in top gear...oops
I was just wondering it just seemed a bit high but everyone else sits around that then its normal :-)

Being a heavyish 4WD with a small engine they've geared the engine relatively low to make it rev higher. That way you have more power at 100km/h for overtaking etc.

Thanks for that guys, I was just wondering and making sure that that is where it was supposed to be. Thanks again
