carl1647545492 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y91/carlukok/DSC08610.jpg I looked down and saw we were running at 2000 rpm at just a scosche under 70 mph,on level ground. Thought that was pretty dam low rpm for 70 mph ? in the quest for decent fuel mileage of course. I,m running a 2014 Honda Accord Sedan with a 4 cyl 2.4 and CTV Tranny Lets see what you have. Have someone else take the pic for you if you are in heavy traffic. Edited March 1, 2014 by carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
