in other news, my rpms at 60mph (assuming 5th gear, and level road) is roughly 1900 to 2000, its difficult to say exactly, i dont watch the tach for too long. at 65mph (same assumptions) roughly 2200. at 75mph (same assumptions) roughly 2500 rpm. of course these vary depending on grade and who i'm following (i love semi's) i plan on filling up the tank today to see how i'm doing with all the trix you guys have told me.
Sorry, don't remember where I saw the manual - it was about a year ago that I searched for it. Will post the link when I find it.
