it's not completely outrageous, but a little high. whatever you do, don't assume that everything is perfect inside the axles. pop the covers and inspect. :thumbsup:
guess it was bound to happen eventually. :( obviously if anyone has received an email from me in the last few hours that contains just a weird link, don't click it. or if you do click it, lemme know what happens. :rotf:
lower rpms do NOT directly relate to better fuel economy. otherwise we'd all have 2.00 gears in our axles. peak efficiency comes at the peak torque. which is not all that low for the 2.5L. :thumbsup: you might find 5th gear pretty worthless.
