45mph I'd be running 1000-1200rpm, which is only 400-600rpm above idle. When I drive 55mph, my engine rpm is ~1550-1600, so I do take a pretty significant hit...but I wouldn't stay legal otherwise.
Huh, same here. What do you run doing 70mph? I go almost 2000rpm, not quite on the line, but close enough. I do about 1200 at 47. TC opens at 45.
