    Question Engine RPM at 70 mph? (120 km/h)

    Going down the highway at 70 mph, where is the rpm tach at?

    And at a side not for the people who own these nifty little hot hatches, how many miles do you have on them?

    The engine should be spinning at around 3400RPM. I'm driving a manual Mirage. The CVT one should be doing a bit under 3000.

    My car just passed the 7000km (4375mi) mark.

    I have now, thank you. Those rpm numbers are much higher then I would have assumed. I was guessing in the low 2000's for best mpg
