I'm not dead sure, but i think my civic dx is around 3000 @ 60-65, with only 100hp. My question is my new Nissan Quest runs 2200 @ 80mph and around 1600 @ 60. Is this lugging the engine? Or will it downshift before enough lugging occurs. (5spd auto). I guess it has a little more torque (255) than the civic too, maybe that helps.
