Here is a quick task for those who experience boring weekends: get your highway speed at 3000 rpm. Here is mine,
76 at 3000rpm (2005 auto tC with 26k miles)

Just want to collect some interesting data...

 

 

Unless your torque convertor or shift body is screwed (auto) or your clutch is pouring smoke, then you wont see a difference from car to car. The gearing is the same from one tC to the next comparing auto to auto and manual to manual. It wont change.

 

If this hasn't been clarified ENOUGH, our gear ratios are the same thus same speeds are x RPMs. That's your interesting data.

 

what? im going ~45 @ 3,000 rpm o.O
