Hello, Does anyone know how many RPMs a PV is turning at 70 MPH? I have 165/15 tires and I assume that the rear end is the orignal 4.11s. I have always avoided the interstates as it always sounded like it was near the redline. When we went to Carlisle this year (about 550 miles) we took backroads there to avoid that. On the way home we stayed on the interstate at 65-70 MPH. We got 28-30 MPH with a B20 which is my best MPG ever. I assume from that that it is happy on the interstate. Am I correct? Thanks
