Is this true or was this just someone posting BS, on another forum, i did a search here and didn't find anything.

70 mph => slightly less than 2800 rpm
80 mph => very close to 3200 rpm
All of this is in 6th gear.

See my post above -- 80 @6th is around 3200.

I was thinking about this on my drive up, and realized i was off with my car. Im at 80mph at about 2.6k or so, it has a 4speed auto. My brothers passat that i drove yesterday is exactly at 3k. Yet the passat stays smooth through to red line, more refined than my Chrysler, while mine feels more jerky.
