Rev counter questions

[Wbaker0118]

Just trying to get an idea of what your guys's revs are usually at at highway speeds (65-80mph). For my 2014 fiesta ST my revs usually sit just above or right at 3000 at 80ish mph. Just trying to get an idea because to me it does seem to be sitting a little high but of course need some feedback! Let me know guys.

That is exactly what it should be. The 6th gear is a little short in this car. Nothing to worry about.

Mine is the same.

70mph for me is 2500 rpm, so your 3000rpm at 80ish sounds spot on. I love the sixth gear in this vehicle at 3000rpm in 6th just barely pushing the throttle 15% you can pass really quickly! Although never and I mean never go WOT in 6th gear, knocking and stripping gears happen way too easily.

Yeah that's about the same for me. My Mini Cooper S was right on the same as well. Similar set up with a turbo 1.6L and a 6 speed.
