60 mph at 3,000 rpm
I remember someone from here said that he/she reach 60 mph at 3k rpm. I just kinda worry that mine reach 60 at little over 3k. Just wondering how you guys think about this. Is this mean that he/she treat engine well ( I'm not sure how describe it) and I didn't?

It all depends on how new the engine is. The longer you've had the car, the more your tach will settle down, because you've broken the engine in completely and it will run more smoothly and efficiently.

I have a manual, 65mph is 3000rpm.
I have a question for the manual owners though.. at when you are shifting from 3rd to 4th gear at 40mph.. what is your rpm at? mine is at around 3200rpm or so.. not 3000.
I'm just wondering about this coz when ever I shift at 3000rpm, the speeds are 15, 25, where the book saids to shift. but at 40, the rpm is 3200ish.. so help me out, thanks.

It is always possible that there is small variations in our gear ratios, and when multiplied many times (xrpm), you may see the notice in your speed in relation. Don't worry about this though, the variance (if any) is probably so small we couldn't even notice.

i have an auto at 70 mph my rpm is at 3000 i don't think breaking in has anything to do with it,i'm at 9000 miles on my odo and the reading is the same as when the car was brand new off the show room floor,by the way how many miles do you have to put on the box to break in the motor?
